About Ouvéa Airport
Overview
Ouvéa Airport serves the island of Ouvéa in New Caledonia, located in the Pacific region. Positioned at 23 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the island's local and regional connectivity. The airport's ICAO code NWWV identifies it within international aviation communication systems.
Flying Conditions
Being a Pacific island airport, Ouvéa experiences maritime tropical climate conditions with potential variability in wind and visibility. The single runway (13/31) is 3,609 feet long with an asphalted surface, which can influence approach and landing considerations depending on meteorological conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts typical of island environments.
Notable Features
The airport is situated at relatively low elevation with coordinates of -20.640932, 166.573024, indicating a coastal geographical context. Its single runway orientation (13/31) suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing maritime wind patterns. The asphalt runway surface provides standard friction characteristics for aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
Approach to Runway 13 or 31 will depend on current wind direction and aircraft type limitations. The 3,609-foot runway length accommodates medium-sized aircraft typical of regional island operations. Pilots should carefully assess current meteorological conditions and runway surface state prior to arrival, maintaining standard instrument approach procedures.
