About Putao Airport
Overview
Putao Airport serves the remote mountainous region of northern Myanmar, located at coordinates 27.329901, 97.426300. As a medium airport situated at 1500 ft mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in a geographically challenging area of Southeast Asia.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 1500 ft MSL indicates a higher-altitude environment with potential for variable atmospheric conditions typical of mountainous terrain. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during seasonal temperature shifts.
Notable Features
Putao Airport features a single runway (17/35) with a substantial length of 7002 feet, constructed with a bituminous (BIT) surface. The runway's orientation suggests it can accommodate medium-sized aircraft and provides flexibility for approaches from different directions based on wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
The runway's 17/35 orientation indicates potential crosswind scenarios, with approaches possible from either 170 or 350 degree headings. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and be prepared for potential terrain-influenced wind shifts when operating in this mountainous airport environment.
