About Marinduque Airport

Overview

Marinduque Airport serves the island province of Marinduque in the Philippines, located in the municipality of Gasan. Situated at a low elevation of 32 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this island community. The airport operates a single asphalt runway oriented 16/34 with a total length of 4,785 feet.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable wind conditions typical of maritime environments. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and sea-level meteorological factors that can impact aircraft performance. The proximity to marine environments may result in rapid weather changes and localized atmospheric conditions.

Notable Features

Marinduque Airport is positioned at coordinates 13.361000, 121.825996, situated on a relatively flat island terrain. The single runway configuration requires precise navigation and adherence to established approach procedures. The airport's medium classification indicates it can accommodate regional and smaller commercial aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

Given the runway's 16/34 orientation, approach and departure paths will be aligned with this magnetic heading. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and strength relative to runway alignment during planning and execution. The 4,785-foot runway length provides sufficient space for most regional aircraft types operating in this geographical region.
