About Reao Airport
Overview
Reao Airport serves the remote Tuamotu Archipelago region in French Polynesia, located at coordinates -18.466520, -136.438550. As a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 12 ft mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for this isolated Pacific island area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 12 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-related turbulence and generally stable atmospheric conditions typical of Pacific island environments. Given its tropical location, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences with potential rapid changes in visibility and wind conditions.
Notable Features
Reao Airport features a single asphalt runway (11/29) with a substantial length of 3008 feet, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's geographic position in the Tuamotu region indicates potential challenging navigation requirements due to the archipelago's dispersed island configuration.
Approach Considerations
The runway's orientation of 11/29 suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variations given the airport's oceanic island setting, and remain attentive to local meteorological conditions that can change rapidly in this maritime environment.
