About Suwon Airport
Overview
Suwon Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Suwon, South Korea, situated at 88 feet above mean sea level. The airport features three asphalt runways, with two parallel runways (15L/33R and 15R/33L) measuring 9,000 feet each, and a third runway (16/34) at 7,535 feet. Its strategic location and multiple runway configuration support diverse aviation operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
Weather at Suwon Airport demonstrates significant variability, with instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions prevalent 37.3% of the time. The prevailing winds are from the south at an average of 5 knots, with maximum gusts up to 24 knots. Temperature ranges from -6°C to 31°C, with an average of 11.5°C, creating potential for dynamic weather conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's three runways offer excellent wind coverage, with each runway showing 100% favorable wind alignment. All runways experience minimal average crosswind conditions, ranging from 2.5 to 2.8 knots. The airport's elevation of 88 feet MSL and location at coordinates 37.239399, 127.007004 provide relatively benign terrain characteristics for approaches and departures.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal visual flight conditions during October, January, and November, with an average visibility of 10 statute miles. Fog occurs in 5.5% of observations, and visibility below 3 statute miles is extremely rare. The parallel runways (15L/33R and 15R/33L) provide flexible operational capabilities with consistent wind alignment and minimal crosswind interference.
