About San Fernando Airport
Overview
San Fernando Airport serves La Union province in the northern Philippines, situated at an elevation of 13 ft above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 16.595600, 120.303001, this medium-sized airport supports regional transportation and potentially local aviation needs in the San Fernando area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 13 ft MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain environment typical of coastal Philippine regions. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime influences on local weather patterns, with potential variations in visibility and wind conditions common to coastal locations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (01/19) measuring 3,937 feet constructed of concrete (CON), which provides adequate length for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic position suggests potential exposure to tropical maritime weather systems and potential seasonal wind variations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19 provides a straight-in approach alignment with a length suitable for regional and smaller commercial aircraft. Given the runway's orientation, pilots should be prepared to assess wind conditions and select appropriate runway end for landing based on prevailing wind direction.
