About Yangyang International Airport
Overview
Yangyang International Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Gangwon Province, South Korea, serving the northeastern coastal region. Situated at an elevation of 241 feet MSL with coordinates 38.061298, 128.669006, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Its single runway (15/33) extends 8,202 feet and is constructed of concrete, supporting various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 78.4% of observations indicating clear weather. Prevailing westerly winds averaging 9 knots characterize the airport's wind profile, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -11°C to 28°C, with an average of 9.6°C, suggesting potential need for seasonal aircraft performance considerations.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location suggests potential for dynamic wind conditions and marine weather influences. Runway 15/33 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and an average crosswind of only 6.6 knots. The low incidence of reduced visibility (MVFR/IFR conditions at 19.5% combined) indicates generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
Winter months (November, December, January) offer the most consistent VFR conditions for operations. Pilots should anticipate westerly winds and prepare for potential temperature-related performance adjustments. The single runway's substantial 8,202-foot length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios.
