About Ngjiva Pereira Airport

Overview

Ngjiva Pereira Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Ngiva, Angola at an elevation of 3,566 feet above mean sea level. Positioned at coordinates -17.043501, 15.683800, the airport serves the regional transportation needs of southwestern Angola. Its substantial runway measuring 10,640 feet in length supports various aircraft operations in this geographic region.

Flying Conditions

The high elevation of 3,566 feet means pilots must carefully calculate performance parameters, especially during warmer conditions which can impact aircraft climb and takeoff characteristics. Being situated in Angola's southwestern region, the airport likely experiences variable wind conditions that can influence runway selection and approach strategies. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and altitude-related performance considerations when operating at this elevation.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (13/31) with an asphalted surface, providing a robust operational platform for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographical location suggests potential terrain variations that could influence approach and departure paths. The substantial runway length of 10,640 feet offers significant operational flexibility for different aircraft types and weights.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31 orientation indicates potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing wind directions. The extensive runway length provides additional margin for safe operations, particularly for aircraft requiring longer takeoff or landing distances. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments consistent with the airport's elevated position and regional geographic characteristics.
