Operational Considerations

Gatot Subrato Airport's 450-foot field elevation keeps density altitude effects manageable. Even on warm days, density altitude here tops out around 2,250 feet — within normal performance parameters for most aircraft. The 6,890-foot runway provides approximately 6,797 feet of effective sea-level performance.

Tropical latitude places Gatot Subrato Airport in a year-round warm, humid environment. Afternoon thunderstorm activity is a near-daily occurrence during the wet season, with cells capable of producing severe turbulence, hail, and wind shear.
