About Oita Airport

Overview

Oita Airport serves the Oita Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan, functioning as a critical medium-sized regional transportation hub. Located at an elevation of 19 feet MSL, the airport supports commercial and general aviation operations with its single runway 01/19 measuring 9,840 feet in length and constructed with asphalt surface.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly excellent visual flying conditions, with 92.3% of observations reporting VFR weather. Winds predominantly blow from the west at an average of 7 knots, with occasional gusts up to 22 knots. Temperature ranges from -2°C to 30°C, providing relatively stable operating conditions throughout the year, with November, December, and January offering the most consistent VFR weather.

Notable Features

Situated at coordinates 33.479401, 131.737000, Oita Airport is positioned in a coastal region of Kyushu with potential maritime meteorological influences. The airport's runway orientation (01/19) is highly favorable, with wind conditions supporting operations 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 5 knots, which facilitates comfortable approach and landing scenarios.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19's extensive 9,840-foot length provides substantial runway availability for various aircraft types. Pilots can expect consistent wind conditions from the west, which generally align favorably with the runway heading. The statistically low occurrence of instrument meteorological conditions (IFR/LIFR at only 1.3%) suggests predictable approach environments with high visibility averages around 10 statute miles.
