Performance considerations
Inland desert field; summer OAT 42–46 °C with elevation 869 ft pushes density altitude up to 5,500 ft. Long runway compensates — no MTOW penalty in practice.
Why crews call LFS for OMAL: LFS routes ferry, tech-stop, and training flights through OMAL when Dubai and Abu Dhabi are slot-locked; GCAA permits and ADNOC fuel coordinated under one desk.
