About Touho Airport
Overview
Touho Airport serves the northeastern coastal region of New Caledonia, located near the town of Touho. As a medium-sized airport situated at 10 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local community and regional transportation needs. The airport's strategic positioning supports essential air connectivity in this part of the South Pacific.
Flying Conditions
New Caledonia's tropical maritime climate significantly influences airport weather conditions, with potential for variable wind patterns particularly around runway 13/31. The airport's low elevation at 10 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain-related turbulence, though pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences typical of coastal environments. Seasonal wind shifts and potential trade wind effects are important considerations for flight planning.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (13/31) measuring 3,609 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its coastal location near geographic coordinates -20.790127, 165.259524 indicates potential marine environmental interactions that could affect local atmospheric conditions. The relatively flat terrain surrounding the airport suggests straightforward visual navigation references.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing, with wind direction being a critical factor in runway selection. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and prepare for potential crosswind landing techniques given the runway's angular alignment. Standard visual approach procedures are recommended, with careful attention to local coastal wind dynamics.
