About Tokachi Airport

Overview

Tokachi Airport serves the Obihiro region in Hokkaido, Japan, as a medium-sized airport located at an elevation of 281 feet MSL. Positioned at coordinates 42.890499, 143.158005, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Tokachi subprefecture, supporting regional transportation and local aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Tokachi Airport are predominantly VFR, with 73.6% of observed conditions supporting visual flight rules. The prevailing northwest winds at 315° average 7.6 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 17 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -14°C to 29°C, with an average of 5.4°C, indicating potential seasonal operational challenges.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: a primary 4,920-foot asphalted runway (13/31) and a secondary 1,308-foot gravel runway (13L/31R). Both runways demonstrate consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 2.4 knots. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic location in Hokkaido contribute to its unique operational environment.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with October, November, and January presenting the most favorable VFR conditions. The consistent northwest wind pattern and low average crosswind make both runways highly suitable for most aircraft operations. Approach planning should consider the seasonal temperature range and potential wind variations typical of the Hokkaido region.
