About Ioto (Iwo Jima) Airbase
Overview
Ioto Airbase, located in the Ogasawara island chain, is a strategic medium airport positioned at 24.784153, 141.322610 with an elevation of 384 feet MSL. The airport serves as an important aviation facility in the Pacific region, featuring a single runway 07/25 measuring 8,700 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Ioto are predominantly VFR, with 68.7% of observations showing clear conditions and only 5.3% indicating IFR status. The prevailing winds are from the east (90 degrees) at an average of 11.4 knots, with maximum recorded winds of 26 knots. September, October, and December offer the most consistent and favorable flying weather, with excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical position in the Ogasawara island chain presents unique operational characteristics for pilots. Its isolated location and single runway require careful flight planning and awareness of local meteorological conditions. The consistent easterly winds and high percentage of VFR conditions make it a relatively predictable operating environment for experienced pilots.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25 demonstrates highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind alignment and an average crosswind of just 5.7 knots. Pilots can expect stable approach conditions, particularly during the peak VFR months of September through December. Temperature variations between 17°C and 31°C should be considered during flight planning and performance calculations.
