About Odate Noshiro Airport

Overview

Odate Noshiro Airport serves the Kitaakita region in northern Japan, functioning as a medium-sized airport at 292 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 40.191898, 140.371002, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area, with a single runway 11/29 measuring 6,562 feet in length and constructed of asphalt.

Flying Conditions

Weather at Odate Noshiro Airport demonstrates significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 52.7% of the time. Pilots can expect challenging conditions during winter and early spring, with Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Low Instrument Flight Rules (LIFR) collectively occurring 34.2% of observation periods. The airport experiences predominantly westerly winds averaging 7.3 knots, with temperature ranges from -6°C to 29°C.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway 11/29 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time and an average crosswind component of only 3.7 knots. The airport's elevation and location suggest a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the northern Japanese landscape, which can contribute to predictable wind patterns and approach conditions.

Approach Considerations

Optimal VFR flying conditions occur during autumn months, specifically October, September, and November, offering pilots the most consistent weather patterns. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility, though pilots should be prepared for occasional fog events occurring in approximately 14.7% of observations. The westerly wind prevalence suggests runway 29 may offer more direct headwind approaches.
