Windsock of Yilan Southern Airport, Aviation infrastructure landmark at Yilan Southern Airport, Taiwan.
The windsock at Yilan Southern Airport is a cone-shaped device made from tough fabric that rotates freely to show wind direction and strength. It sits on the airfield where pilots can see it clearly during their approach to land or before taking off.
The windsock was added to the airport to improve flight safety as aviation services developed in the region. Its installation reflected growing investment in proper airfield equipment for the Yilan area.
The windsock represents the integration of modern aviation practices in Taiwan, becoming a symbol of technological progress in Yilan County.
You can see this windsock when visiting the airport area or from nearby viewpoints where aircraft operations are visible. The device works around the clock and stays visible in most weather conditions, making it a reliable reference point for anyone interested in flight operations.
This windsock captures specific coastal wind patterns that shape how planes take off and land at this location. Pilots learn to read these particular wind behaviors because they differ from inland airports in the same region.
