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.
