About Surigao Airport
Overview
Surigao Airport (RPMS) serves Surigao City in the Philippines, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport at an elevation of 20 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 9.755838, 125.480947, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Surigao region. Its single concrete runway (18/36) extends 5,603 feet, supporting medium-sized aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 20 ft MSL indicates minimal terrain challenges for approach and departure procedures. Being situated in the Philippines, the airport experiences tropical maritime weather with potential monsoon-related precipitation and wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions on the 18/36 runway, particularly during seasonal weather transitions.
Notable Features
Surigao Airport's geographic position in the Philippines suggests potential marine influence on local meteorological conditions. The concrete runway configuration provides reliable surface conditions for aircraft operations. The airport's medium classification indicates it can handle regional commercial and general aviation traffic appropriate to its infrastructure.
Approach Considerations
Runway 18/36's 5,603-foot length accommodates most regional aircraft types with reasonable operational margins. Given the airport's coastal location, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear or turbulence during approach. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended, taking into account the relatively flat terrain surrounding the airport.
