Performance considerations
Inland savannah, elevation 1,123 ft. Harmattan (Dec–Feb) brings dust and reduced RVR. Convective activity (Apr–Oct) — afternoon cells regular but rarely sustained.
Why crews call LFS for DNAA: LFS clears NCAA permits, Presidential Air Fleet PPR for diplomatic flights, and SAHCO ramp coordination at DNAA — the only Nigerian field where state and corporate operators converge daily.
