About Miyazaki Airport

Overview

Miyazaki Airport serves the Miyazaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan, providing critical regional air connectivity. Located at 20 feet mean sea level with coordinates 31.877199, 131.449005, this medium-sized airport supports commercial and general aviation operations with a substantial 8,200-foot asphalt runway.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 86% of observations indicating clear flying weather and only 2.9% reporting IFR conditions. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 8.2 knots with occasional gusts up to 27 knots characterize the local wind environment. Temperature ranges from -2°C to 35°C, with an average of 16.6°C, suggesting significant seasonal variation.

Notable Features

Situated on the eastern coast of Kyushu, Miyazaki Airport's low elevation and coastal location likely influence its consistent visibility, which averages 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility. The airport's single runway (09/27) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and a modest average crosswind of 3.4 knots.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during winter months, particularly January, November, and December. The runway's orientation and length provide flexibility for most aircraft types, with consistent wind patterns that generally support straightforward approaches and departures. Calm wind conditions are rare, occurring in only 0.1% of observations.
