About Pingtung Air Force Base North
Pingtung Air Force Base North is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the TW AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Pingtung Air Force Base North is a medium-sized airport located in southern Taiwan at 22.700199, 120.482002, situated at an elevation of 97 feet mean sea level. The base serves the Pingtung region and supports military aviation operations with a substantial 8,012-foot concrete runway oriented 08/26.
Flying Conditions
Southern Taiwan's climate typically presents warm, humid conditions with potential for tropical maritime weather patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components on the 08/26 runway, given the geographical location and regional meteorological characteristics. Seasonal variations can significantly impact wind direction and intensity.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical positioning in Pingtung suggests potential terrain interactions with coastal and inland elevation changes. The runway's considerable length of 8,012 feet provides flexibility for multiple aircraft types and operational requirements. Its concrete surface ensures reliable ground handling across various weather conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26's extended length allows for versatile approach options with 8,012 feet of concrete surface available. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and prepare for potential crosswind scenarios, leveraging the runway's orientation. Standard military airfield approach protocols and local air traffic management practices will govern arrival and departure procedures.
