About Cagayan North International Airport

Overview

Cagayan North International Airport serves the Lal-lo region in the northern Philippines, positioned at 18.182388, 121.745853. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 148 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Cagayan province. The airport's single concrete runway (04/22) extends 6,900 feet, supporting various aircraft operations in the region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's relatively low elevation at 148 feet suggests a generally stable atmospheric environment with minimal terrain-induced turbulence. Coastal proximity and northern Philippine geographic characteristics likely contribute to variable wind conditions that pilots should anticipate during approach and departure. Seasonal meteorological patterns in this region can produce significant wind shifts that may affect runway 04/22 operations.

Notable Features

Positioned in northern Luzon, Cagayan North International Airport is situated in a transitional geographic zone between coastal and inland terrain. The 6,900-foot concrete runway accommodates medium-sized aircraft and provides substantial operational flexibility. Its geographic location suggests potential for complex local wind patterns influenced by surrounding topographical features.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22's substantial 6,900-foot length provides significant margin for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning to assess current wind conditions, as the runway's orientation may require careful wind vector calculations during approach. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical given the airport's geographic location and potential regional meteorological variations.
