About Cam Ranh International Airport / Cam Ranh Air Base
Cam Ranh International Airport / Cam Ranh Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the VN AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Cam Ranh International Airport serves as a key aviation facility located in southern Vietnam, positioned near the coastal city of Cam Ranh. The airport features two substantial concrete runways, each 10,000 feet long, capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations. Its strategic coastal location provides critical infrastructure for both civilian and potential military aviation needs in the region.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 89.7% of observations showing clear flight rules and excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles. Wind patterns are consistently from the north, with an average speed of 9.2 knots and maximum gusts up to 24 knots. Temperature ranges between 18°C and 34°C, with an average of 26.3°C, providing stable environmental conditions for flight operations.
Notable Features
Located at a low elevation of 40 feet mean sea level, Cam Ranh Airport offers relatively flat terrain with minimal altitude-related challenges. Both runways demonstrate identical wind compatibility, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind of 3.3 knots. The airport's geographical positioning suggests potential maritime weather influences typical of coastal Vietnamese environments.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistent approach conditions with January, September, and October representing the most favorable VFR months. Both runways (02L/20R and 02R/20L) provide equivalent operational characteristics, allowing flexible landing and takeoff options. The negligible occurrence of adverse weather conditions (only 2.6% IFR and 0.3% LIFR) suggests generally reliable approach and departure scenarios.
