About Naha Airport

Overview

Naha Airport is a medium-sized airport located in the Sangihe Islands region of Indonesia, situated at coordinates 3.684780, 125.527162. The airport serves the Tabukan Utara district and operates at an elevation of 16 feet above mean sea level. Its strategic location in the island archipelago provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 16 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-related atmospheric variations. Being in an island environment, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences, including possible wind shifts and localized convection. The single runway (15/33) measuring 3,597 feet with an asphalt surface provides standard operational capabilities for medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (15/33) is oriented in a northwest-southeast configuration, which may influence approach and departure procedures. Its asphalt surface suggests standard ground handling capabilities, typical of regional Indonesian airports. The relatively low elevation indicates minimal orographic weather complexity compared to mountainous airport environments.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33's 3,597-foot length requires careful performance planning, particularly for larger aircraft. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variations typical of island terrain, potentially necessitating wind-adaptive approach strategies. Standard instrument approach procedures would likely be designed to accommodate the airport's low-elevation coastal setting.
