About Mataiva Airport
Overview
Mataiva Airport serves the island of Mataiva in French Polynesia, positioned at coordinates -14.868100, -148.716995. As a medium airport situated at an elevation of 11 feet mean sea level, it provides essential transportation infrastructure for the remote Pacific island region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 11 ft MSL indicates minimal terrain interference and relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of Pacific island environments. Given its tropical location, pilots should anticipate potential rapid weather changes and be prepared for humidity and potential convective activity.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (01/19) measuring 3,937 feet in length with an asphalt (ASP) surface. Its moderate runway length suggests limitations for larger aircraft and emphasizes the importance of precise approach and landing techniques for pilots operating in this geographic context.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing local wind patterns. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and be prepared to manage potential lateral wind components during approach and landing operations, utilizing appropriate crosswind landing techniques.
