About Nagoya Airport / JASDF Komaki Air Base

Nagoya Airport / JASDF Komaki Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the JP AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Nagoya Airport serves as a critical dual-use facility combining civilian and Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) operations in the Nagoya metropolitan region. Located at 35.255759, 136.924095, this medium airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Aichi Prefecture. The airport supports both military and commercial flight activities with its substantial 8,990-foot runway.

Flying Conditions

Central Japan's regional climate presents variable weather conditions for pilots operating at this 52-foot MSL elevation airport. Seasonal transitions can significantly impact local meteorological patterns, with potential wind shifts affecting runway 16/34 operations. Pilots should anticipate moderate maritime influences given the airport's proximity to coastal regions.

Notable Features

The airport's single asphalt runway (16/34) provides substantial operational flexibility at 8,990 feet in length. Its medium classification and joint military-civilian status create a unique operational environment requiring heightened situational awareness. The relatively low elevation of 52 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain-related approach complexities.

Approach Considerations

Runway 16/34's significant length accommodates diverse aircraft types and operational requirements. Prevailing wind patterns will influence runway selection, with careful attention to wind direction and speed critical for safe approaches. Standard JASDF and civilian separation protocols are in effect during combined operations.
