About Maré Airport
Overview
Maré Airport serves the island of Maré in New Caledonia, located in the South Pacific region. As a medium-sized airport situated at 141 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation access to this isolated island community. The airport supports regional transportation needs for the local population and visitors.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 141 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for variable wind conditions. Given its island location at coordinates -21.482438, 168.038465, pilots should anticipate maritime weather influences that can create dynamic atmospheric conditions. Seasonal variations may impact flight operations, particularly during potential tropical weather periods.
Notable Features
The single runway 13/31 measures 3,281 feet long with an asphalt surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical position in the New Caledonian archipelago means pilots must be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios typical of island airport environments. The terrain surrounding the airport likely includes coastal and potentially uneven landscape characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31 orientation suggests potential wind alignment challenges depending on prevailing maritime wind patterns. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway heading during approach planning, maintaining heightened situational awareness. The asphalt runway surface requires standard landing technique considerations typical of medium-sized island airport facilities.
