About Cha Eian Airport

Overview

Cha Eian Airport serves the Nakhon Si Thammarat province in Thailand, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the region. Located at coordinates 8.471150, 99.955597, this medium-sized airport operates at an elevation of 44 feet mean sea level, supporting regional and potential commercial aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

Southern Thailand's tropical climate influences airport conditions, with potential significant seasonal weather variations between dry and wet periods. Pilots should anticipate humidity and potential convective activity typical of the coastal geographic region, with wind patterns potentially affecting the 18/36 runway alignment.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (18/36) measuring 7,546 feet with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its relatively low elevation of 44 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain challenges, with coastal plain characteristics surrounding the airport environment.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36 provides a substantial 7,546-foot landing surface, offering flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Pilots should evaluate wind direction and runway orientation when planning approaches, considering the single runway's longitudinal alignment and potential crosswind considerations.
