About Preguiça Airport
Overview
Preguiça Airport serves the Cape Verdean island of São Nicolau, located in the Atlantic archipelago. Situated at an elevation of 669 feet mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region's local and regional aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Cape Verde's maritime tropical climate typically presents stable weather conditions with moderate temperatures and relatively predictable wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations due to the airport's moderate elevation and coastal proximity, which can influence local wind dynamics.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (01/19) measuring 4,593 feet in length, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical position at coordinates 16.588852, -24.284132 places it in a terrain-varied environment characteristic of São Nicolau's volcanic landscape, which may introduce potential wind shear and turbulence considerations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing maritime wind directions. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning, considering the runway's length and the surrounding topographical features that could influence approach and departure procedures.
