American Samoa airport map prints

American Samoa is a handful of islands in the South Pacific, and its flying is short hops over open water. Pago Pago International on Tutuila carries the territory's long runway, 10,001 feet on 05/23, with a 3,801 foot second runway at 31 feet above sea level. The Manu'a islands to the east have two small fields: Fitiuta on Ta'u, a single 3,200 foot concrete strip at 110 feet, and Ofu, where the runway is 1,980 feet and sits 12 feet above the water. Everything about these fields is shaped by the ocean around them. Approaches come in over the sea, and each runway takes the little flat ground the island offers, so the three plans are simple shapes with a great deal of water implied around them.

Flying in American Samoa

Flying in American Samoa is island flying at its most basic: one long runway on the main island and two short strips a hundred miles of ocean away. A print of any of the three is really a portrait of a shoreline. Published airport information guides each composition's relative runway lengths and bearings, with fine details simplified for wall art.
