About Osaka International Airport
Overview
Osaka International Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in the Osaka metropolitan region of Japan. Located at coordinates 34.785500, 135.438004, the airport operates at an elevation of 50 feet mean sea level (MSL) and provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the Kansai area. The airport accommodates large commercial aviation operations with two substantial runways.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location near Osaka suggests potential for variable maritime weather conditions that pilots should monitor closely. Its low elevation at 50 ft MSL indicates minimal terrain interference, which can contribute to relatively stable approach and departure environments. Seasonal wind patterns may significantly influence runway selection and approach strategies.
Notable Features
Osaka International Airport features two distinct runways: a 5,997-foot asphalt runway (14L/32R) and a longer 9,840-foot concrete runway (14R/32L). The substantial difference in runway lengths provides operational flexibility for various aircraft types and potential load configurations. The airport's geographic positioning allows for strategic air traffic management in the dense Osaka metropolitan region.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation (14/32) suggests the primary approach and departure axes are aligned approximately northwest to southeast. The longer concrete runway (14R/32L) at 9,840 feet provides substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for larger commercial aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the runway alignment and regional meteorological characteristics.
