About Iejima Auxiliary Air Base
Iejima Auxiliary 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.
Iejima Auxiliary Air Base (RODE) is located in Ie, JP at an elevation of 184 feet MSL. The airport has 2 runways (04/22, 05/23), with the longest at 4,780 feet.
Weather Profile
Analysis of 4,744 weather observations shows RODE maintains VFR conditions 82.1% of the time, with marginal VFR accounting for 14.6% and IFR/LIFR conditions present in 3.3% of reports.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at RODE come from the N (0°) with an average speed of 10.1 knots and recorded gusts up to 29 knots. Calm winds are rare (2.5%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 04/22 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 5 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are January, October, December, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -21°C (-6°F) to 32°C (90°F), averaging 20°C (68°F). Cold weather operations require attention to aircraft preheating, de-icing, and cold-soaked fuel management. Altimeter settings typically range from 29.71 to 30.38 inHg (1006-1029 hPa).
