About Pohang Airport (G-815/K-3)

Overview

Pohang Airport (RKTH) is a medium-sized airport located in the southeastern coastal region of South Korea. Situated at 70 feet above mean sea level near the city of Pohang, the airport serves as a critical regional aviation facility. Its strategic coastal location provides important transportation infrastructure for the surrounding metropolitan and industrial areas.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal positioning suggests potential for variable wind conditions and maritime weather influences. Pilots should anticipate potential sea-level meteorological dynamics that can impact approach and departure procedures. The single runway (10/28) measuring 7,000 feet provides substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

Pohang Airport's runway is constructed of concrete (CON), offering a stable surface for aircraft operations. The airport's moderate elevation of 70 feet MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain environment, which can provide predictable approach characteristics. Its geographical coordinates (35.987955, 129.420383) place it in a region with potential maritime and terrain-related weather interactions.

Approach Considerations

The 10/28 runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should prepare for potential wind shifts typical of coastal airport environments. The 7,000-foot runway length accommodates a range of aircraft sizes, providing operational flexibility for various aviation requirements.
