About Nagasaki Airport
Overview
Nagasaki Airport serves the Nagasaki Prefecture on the western island of Kyushu, Japan. Located at an elevation of 15 feet MSL, the airport provides critical regional transportation infrastructure with two asphalted runways capable of handling medium-sized aircraft. Its strategic position supports commercial and potentially regional aviation operations in southwestern Japan.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 93.3% of observations showing favorable visual flight rules. Prevailing winds from the north (0°) average 9.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Temperature variations range from 1°C to 33°C, with an average of 16.8°C, suggesting potential for moderate thermal conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates 32.916901, 129.914001, Nagasaki Airport features two parallel runways: 14/32 at 9,840 feet and 18/36 at 4,350 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with minimal average crosswind components (14/32 at 4.2 knots, 18/36 at 5.2 knots). Visibility consistently remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
October through December represent the best VFR months for operations, offering optimal flying conditions. Both runways provide consistent wind favorability, allowing flexible approach and departure options. Pilots can expect minimal fog interference (0.4% of observations) and extremely rare low instrument flight rule conditions, supporting reliable navigation and landing procedures.
