Ibaraki Airport is a large airport in Omitama, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, known to airline systems as IBR. The field elevation of 105 ft (32 m) is the number every arriving pilot dials against QNH — circuit heights and initial approach altitudes at RJAH are all figured from it. The airport handles scheduled commercial service, so expect controlled procedures, published approaches and commercial traffic in the pattern.
Of its 2 runways, the longest — 03L/21R — offers 8,858 ft (2700 m) of asp surface, with runway lighting for night operations. Runway numbers give magnetic orientation: runway 03L points roughly 30° magnetic.

Flight-planning notes for Ibaraki Airport
Density altitude is the quiet performance-killer at any field: on a hot day the 105 ft field elevation of Ibaraki Airport can translate into a substantially higher density altitude, stretching take-off rolls and flattening climb rates — run the numbers rather than trusting the feel of a standard day. Expect published instrument procedures, controlled airspace and clearance requirements; slots and handling may apply to general aviation traffic.

Where this data comes from
The reference layer behind this page builds on the OurAirports dataset — a public-domain, community-maintained register of the world's airports that many flight planners and apps rely on — with equity records preserved from documented historical listings where the dataset is silent. Figures are carried as published: elevations as surveyed, coordinates as filed, runway dimensions as recorded. Nothing is estimated to fill a gap, and the whole layer regenerates from source on every site build, so corrections upstream arrive here automatically.
