About JGSDF Kisarazu Airfield

Overview

JGSDF Kisarazu Airfield is a medium-sized airport located in Kisarazu, Japan, serving primarily military operations. Situated at an elevation of 10 feet mean sea level, the airfield is positioned at coordinates 35.398300, 139.910004. The airport supports Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) aviation activities in the greater Tokyo regional area.

Flying Conditions

The airfield's low elevation of 10 ft MSL indicates a coastal plain environment with minimal terrain complexity. Being located near Tokyo Bay, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences including variable wind conditions and potential marine layer formations. Seasonal weather patterns typical of the Kanto region will impact local atmospheric conditions.

Notable Features

Kisarazu Airfield features a single runway (02/20) with an asphalt surface measuring 6,004 feet in length. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, particularly given the coastal proximity. The airport's strategic location near Tokyo provides critical infrastructure for military aviation operations in the region.

Approach Considerations

Runway 02/20's substantial 6,004-foot length accommodates a range of aircraft types typical to military operations. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variations given the coastal environment and be aware of the runway's alignment. Standard military approach procedures and local air traffic control protocols will govern arrival and departure sequences.
