About Fukui Airport

Overview

Fukui Airport serves the Fukui Prefecture region in central Japan, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the local area. Located at 36.142799, 136.223999, this medium-sized airport sits at a low elevation of 19 feet mean sea level, making it well-integrated with the surrounding terrain.

Flying Conditions

The airport's single runway 18/36 measures 4,329 feet long with an asphalt surface, which is suitable for smaller aircraft operations. Given its coastal regional location, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences that could generate variable wind conditions, particularly during seasonal transition periods.

Notable Features

The airport's modest elevation and relatively short runway suggest it primarily supports regional and general aviation operations. Its geographical positioning in central Japan implies potential interactions with surrounding terrain and potential localized meteorological variations that could impact flight planning and approach strategies.

Approach Considerations

With a single runway oriented 18/36, pilots should prepare standard approach procedures aligned with the runway's longitudinal axis. The airport's low elevation and asphalt surface provide straightforward operational parameters, though standard preflight weather and terrain assessments remain crucial for safe navigation.
