About Noto Satoyama Airport
Overview
Noto Satoyama Airport serves the Wajima region in Japan, located at an elevation of 718 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a single 6,562-foot asphalted runway (07/25), it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Noto Peninsula area. The airport's geographical coordinates (37.293098, 136.962006) position it in a coastal environment typical of regional Japanese airports.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Noto Satoyama Airport demonstrate substantial visual flight rule (VFR) opportunities, with 74.9% of observations supporting VFR operations. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 6.3 knots create generally stable conditions, though pilots should anticipate occasional wind shifts. Temperature ranges from -4°C to 29°C suggest significant seasonal variation, with most predictable flying conditions occurring in autumn months (September, October, November).
Notable Features
The airport's runway 07/25 exhibits excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind of 2.6 knots. Geographical proximity to the Sea of Japan likely influences local meteorological patterns, potentially creating localized wind and visibility variations. Low fog occurrence (1% of observations) and consistently high visibility (average 10 statute miles) contribute to reliable operational conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25 presents a straightforward approach environment with predictable wind characteristics. Pilots can expect predominantly westerly winds, which generally favor approaches from the 07 and 25 headings. The airport's elevation and coastal location suggest potential for rapid weather changes, so thorough preflight weather briefing remains critical for safe operations.
