HND ILS RWY22 and RWY23 in Winter Low Pressure

| Aviation Weather

Last summer, I wrote about the rare operation of ILS RWY22 and RWY23 at Haneda Airport. Today, a strong low-pressure system sweeping across the Sea of Japan brought fierce southerly winds, giving it the feel of a small typhoon.

Checking flightradar24 this morning, I noticed that the ILS for Runways 22 and 23 at Haneda had been activated again, with Departures using 16L and 16R.

The chart is as follows:

From a photo posted on Twitter, you can see the location of Disneyland, confirming that the turn is indeed not made over Tokyo Bay.

Here is the log of the METARs starting from 09:00. The pressure is currently still dropping, but the wind speed has decreased somewhat, so landings have switched back to the usual LDA RWY22 and RWY23.
