About Danilo Atienza Air Base

Danilo Atienza Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the PH AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Danilo Atienza Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Cavite, Philippines, situated at an elevation of 8 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the southern metropolitan Manila area and supports military and potential civilian aviation operations. Its strategic location near the capital region makes it a significant regional aviation facility.

Flying Conditions

Located near coastal waters, Danilo Atienza Air Base experiences tropical maritime weather conditions typical of the Philippines. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity, occasional thunderstorm development, and variable wind conditions. The airport's low elevation and proximity to the coast suggest potential for sea breeze influences during daytime operations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (07/25) with an asphalt surface measuring 7,769 feet in length. Its substantial runway length accommodates medium-sized aircraft and provides flexibility for various operational requirements. The terrain surrounding the airport appears to be relatively flat, consistent with its low elevation profile.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25 provides a linear east-west orientation, which allows for approaches from both directions depending on prevailing wind conditions. The 7,769-foot runway length offers generous landing and takeoff distances for most medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments when planning approaches to this coastal airport.
