About Iki Airport

Overview

Iki Airport serves the island of Iki in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, positioned at 33.749001, 129.785004. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 41 feet MSL, it provides essential transportation infrastructure for the local region. The airport features a single asphalt runway (02/20) measuring 4,331 feet in length.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Iki Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 89.3% of observations indicating VFR conditions. The prevailing winds are from the northwest (315°) at an average of 8.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 23 knots. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 32°C, with an average of 15.7°C, suggesting relatively mild operating conditions throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (02/20) demonstrates consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Its island location likely introduces maritime atmospheric influences and potential wind variability. The minimal occurrence of low visibility conditions (LIFR at 0.3%) suggests generally stable visual meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect optimal visual conditions, particularly during November, January, and December. The average crosswind for runway 02/20 is 4.3 knots, which should pose minimal challenge for most aircraft. Consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles provides reliable visual reference during approach and landing operations.
