About Phu Bai International Airport
Overview
Phu Bai International Airport serves the Huế region in central Vietnam, situated at a low elevation of 48 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a single 8,775-foot asphalted runway (09/27), it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding coastal area. The airport supports various aviation operations in a strategically important geographical location.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Phu Bai demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 53.8% of observations. Marginal VFR conditions occur 26.9% of the time, while Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) are present in 16.4% of observations. Pilots can expect predominantly westerly winds averaging 5.8 knots, with temperature ranges from 14°C to 96°C and excellent average visibility of 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (09/27) offers consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Crosswinds average just 3 knots, providing relatively comfortable landing and takeoff scenarios. Geographic positioning near the coast suggests potential for rapid weather changes and wind variability, particularly during seasonal transitions.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and January represent the most favorable months for visual flying conditions at Phu Bai. Pilots should anticipate westerly wind patterns and prepare for potential instrument conditions, given the 16.4% IFR occurrence rate. The long runway and consistent wind characteristics generally support predictable approach and departure procedures.
