Jeki Airport (FLJK / JEK)

Runways at FLJK

According to OurAirports data (compiled from AIP and FAA sources), Jeki Airport has one runway: 07/25 - 985 m long (3,232 ft), 28 m wide, surface not specified in the available data.

Runway headings and wind

The thresholds are oriented as follows: 07/25 on 70° and 250° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.

For the 07/25 axis, wind from the south (around 160°) or from the north (around 340°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 70° or 250° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.

METAR and TAF for FLJK

Weather reports for Jeki Airport are published under the ICAO code FLJK. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.

The decoder breaks the FLJK report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.

Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for FLJK, check the nearby airports listed below.

Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Africa/Lusaka zone stays at GMT+02:00 year-round, so converting to local time is always the same shift.

The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Mana Pools Airport (Hurungwe) (FVMN, 28 km), Royal Zambezi Lodge Airstrip (Lower Zambezi River) (FLRZ, 34 km), Rukomeshe Research Station Airstrip (FVRK, 61 km). When no report is available for FLJK, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
