About Wonsan Kalma International Airport
Overview
Wonsan Kalma International Airport serves the eastern coastal region of North Korea, located in Wonsan city at 39.166801N, 127.486000E. As a medium-sized airport with a single concrete runway measuring 10,252 feet, the facility supports regional and potentially international aviation operations at a low elevation of 7 feet mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential maritime atmospheric influences and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential sea-level meteorological variations that could impact visibility, wind direction, and temperature stability during different seasonal transitions.
Notable Features
The single runway (15R/33L) provides a substantial 10,252-foot concrete surface, offering significant operational flexibility for different aircraft types. The airport's coastal positioning near 39.17N latitude indicates potential terrain interactions between maritime and inland geographical features that could influence local atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15R and 33L orientation suggests the airport can accommodate approaches from both northeastern and southwestern headings. Pilots should carefully assess prevailing wind conditions and be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios given the runway's angular alignment relative to the coastal geography.
