About Kyaukpyu Airport
Overview
Kyaukpyu Airport serves the coastal region of Rakhine State in western Myanmar, located at coordinates 19.426399, 93.534798. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 20 feet mean sea level, it provides essential regional transportation infrastructure for the Kyaukpyu area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 20 ft MSL suggests a maritime climate typical of coastal Myanmar, with potential for variable winds and humidity. Pilots should anticipate potential sea-level meteorological conditions that can impact visibility and wind patterns, particularly during seasonal transition periods.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (18/36) with a bituminous surface measuring 4,600 feet in length. Its coastal location near the Bay of Bengal implies potential for terrain variations and coastal meteorological influences that pilots should carefully assess during flight planning.
Approach Considerations
Runway 18/36 provides a primary approach axis aligned with a north-south orientation. Given the runway's moderate length of 4,600 feet, pilots should carefully calculate landing and takeoff performance parameters, particularly when operating aircraft near the runway's operational limits.
