About Mae Hong Son Airport
Overview
Mae Hong Son Airport serves the mountainous northern Thailand region, situated at an elevation of 929 feet MSL in a remote provincial area. Located at coordinates 19.301300, 97.975800, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for Mae Hong Son Province. The airport supports regional transportation with a single runway 11/29 measuring 6562 feet in asphalted surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 61.2% of recorded periods supporting visual flight rules. Seasonal temperatures range from 12°C to 35°C, averaging 25.8°C, with the most stable flying conditions occurring in October, January, and December. Wind patterns are consistently southeast at 135°, averaging 4 knots with occasional peaks to 14 knots, and experiencing calm conditions 18.3% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's mountainous geographical context suggests complex terrain considerations for pilots. Surrounded by elevated landscape, approach and departure paths likely require careful navigation and terrain awareness. The airport's moderate elevation and single runway configuration demand precision and adherence to established procedures.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 1.9 knots. Pilots can expect generally predictable approach conditions, particularly during peak VFR months. Low probability of significant visibility restrictions (0% below 3SM) supports consistent operational reliability.
