Weather Briefing
VFRIejima Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 2.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 8 knots with gusts to 15 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component (gusting to 14 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Rain, Heavy Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 50 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 10 to 50 knots.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Iejima Airport
Overview
Iejima Airport serves Ie Island, located in the Okinawa Prefecture of Japan. Positioned at 26.722537, 127.786801, this medium-sized airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the local region at an elevation of 246 feet above mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences typical subtropical maritime conditions characteristic of the Okinawa region. With two runways (04/22 and 05/23) measuring approximately 4,900 feet in length, pilots can expect variable wind conditions that may influence landing and takeoff preferences.
Notable Features
Iejima Airport features two runways with different orientations: a 4,920-foot asphalted runway (04/22) and a 4,961-foot runway (05/23). The airport's moderate elevation and island location suggest potential wind shear and turbulence considerations during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing winds, with the two differently oriented runways (04/22 and 05/23) providing flexibility for various wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences and prepare for potential crosswind landing techniques given the airport's geographic setting.
