About Rishiri Airport

Overview

Rishiri Airport serves the island of Rishiri, located in northern Hokkaido, Japan. As a medium-sized airport situated at 112 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential transportation infrastructure for this remote island region. The airport supports regional connectivity with its single runway configuration.

Flying Conditions

The airport's location in northern Japan suggests potential for challenging maritime weather conditions, particularly during winter months. Pilots should anticipate possible wind variations given the island's coastal positioning. The 5,906-foot asphalted runway provides adequate length for most regional aircraft operations.

Notable Features

Rishiri Airport is positioned at coordinates 45.242001, 141.186005, situated on an island with likely complex terrain and potential wind interactions. The airport's elevation of 112 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-lying terrain environment. Runway 07/25 offers a directional orientation that may provide operational flexibility depending on prevailing wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Approach planning should consider the runway's 5,906-foot length and asphalted surface. The single runway orientation (07/25) suggests pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios typical of island environments. Standard regional approach procedures and careful wind assessment will be critical for safe operations at this airport.
