About Tugdan Airport

Overview

Tugdan Airport serves Tablas Island in the Philippines, providing critical regional aviation infrastructure. Located at 12.311000, 122.084999, this medium airport supports transportation needs for the surrounding archipelagic region.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a low elevation of 10 ft mean sea level, Tugdan Airport experiences maritime tropical weather typical of its Philippine island location. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and variable wind conditions common to coastal environments.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (03/21) with a pavement surface composed of PEM (likely Portland Emerging Material), measuring 4,560 feet in length. Its moderate runway length accommodates medium-sized aircraft operations appropriate to regional transportation requirements.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments, with particular attention to the island's topographical influences on local wind patterns and approach dynamics.
