About Mong Hsat Airport

Overview

Mong Hsat Airport serves the eastern region of Myanmar, located in Shan State at an elevation of 1,875 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports medium-level aviation operations in a mountainous area of southeastern Myanmar, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the local region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1,875 ft MSL indicates a higher terrain environment that can create unique atmospheric conditions for pilots. Situated at coordinates 20.516800, 99.256798, the airport experiences potential terrain-influenced wind patterns and potential visibility challenges typical of mountainous southeastern Myanmar.

Notable Features

Mong Hsat Airport features a single runway (12/30) constructed of bituminous surface, measuring 5,000 feet in length. The runway orientation and substantial length suggest the airport is designed to accommodate medium-sized aircraft operations in a challenging terrain environment.

Approach Considerations

Pilots approaching Mong Hsat Airport should be prepared for potential terrain-related wind variations given the airport's mountain region location. The runway's 12/30 orientation provides flexibility for landings based on prevailing wind conditions, with careful attention required to terrain and elevation considerations during approach and departure phases.
