About Matsu Beigan Airport

Overview

Matsu Beigan Airport serves the Beigan island region of Taiwan, located in the strategic Matsu archipelago. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 41 feet mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this offshore island community. The airport supports regional connectivity and serves as an important transportation node for the Matsu island group.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location at 26.224199, 120.002998 suggests potential for variable maritime weather conditions typical of island environments. Given its low elevation of 41 ft MSL, pilots can expect minimal terrain interference but potential wind and visibility challenges. Seasonal wind patterns and maritime atmospheric conditions will significantly influence flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single concrete runway (03/21) measuring 3,773 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical position in the Taiwan Strait indicates potential for complex wind interactions and rapid weather shifts. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges during certain wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 provides a standard approach environment with its 3,773-foot concrete surface. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime wind variations and prepare for potential crosswind landing scenarios. The relatively modest runway length requires careful performance planning for aircraft approach and landing operations.
