Weather Briefing
VFRIejima Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,400 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 7 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 4400 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 25 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 13:00Z and 16:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Iejima Airport
Overview
Iejima Airport serves Ie Island, located in the Okinawa Prefecture of Japan. Positioned at 26.722537, 127.786801, this medium-sized airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the local region at an elevation of 246 feet above mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences typical subtropical maritime conditions characteristic of the Okinawa region. With two runways (04/22 and 05/23) measuring approximately 4,900 feet in length, pilots can expect variable wind conditions that may influence landing and takeoff preferences.
Notable Features
Iejima Airport features two runways with different orientations: a 4,920-foot asphalted runway (04/22) and a 4,961-foot runway (05/23). The airport's moderate elevation and island location suggest potential wind shear and turbulence considerations during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing winds, with the two differently oriented runways (04/22 and 05/23) providing flexibility for various wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences and prepare for potential crosswind landing techniques given the airport's geographic setting.
