About Dawei Airport
Overview
Dawei Airport (VYDW) is a medium-sized airport located in southeastern Myanmar, situated at 14.103900 North latitude and 98.203598 East longitude. The airport serves the Tanintharyi Region, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the coastal city of Dawei. Its elevation of 84 feet above mean sea level positions it in a relatively low-lying coastal terrain.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location near the Andaman Sea suggests potential maritime meteorological influences with possible rapid weather changes. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and occasional coastal weather systems that can impact visibility and wind conditions. The single runway (16/34) measuring 7005 feet in length, constructed of concrete, offers substantial landing capabilities for medium-sized aircraft.
Notable Features
Dawei Airport's runway orientation of 16/34 indicates a northwest-southeast alignment, which may have implications for wind approaches and takeoff procedures. The concrete runway surface provides stable ground contact for aircraft operations. Its medium airport classification suggests it can accommodate regional commercial and general aviation traffic with moderate infrastructure support.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should consider the runway's 7005-foot length, which provides sufficient space for most medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should prepare for potential crosswind conditions given the runway's angular orientation. Standard instrument approach procedures would likely be applicable, though specific local variations may exist based on regional aviation regulations.
