About Aerodromo de Castelo Branco
Overview
Aerodromo de Castelo Branco is a medium-sized airport located in the district of Castelo Branco, Portugal. Situated at an elevation of 1,300 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves the central region of Portugal and supports various aviation activities. Its geographical coordinates at 39.844528, -7.439875 place it in a strategic location within the country's aviation infrastructure.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 1,300 ft MSL suggests potential thermal and terrain-related weather variations typical of central Portugal. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the single runway orientation of 16/34. The asphalt runway, measuring 4,790 feet in length, provides adequate surface for most medium-sized aircraft operations.
Notable Features
Castelo Branco's airport features a single runway (16/34) with an asphalt surface, suitable for supporting regional aviation needs. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic position indicate potential terrain interactions that could influence local wind patterns and approach dynamics. Pilots should be prepared for potential regional topographical effects on flight conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34 offers a 4,790-foot asphalt surface for landing and takeoff. Given the runway's single orientation, pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and prepare for potential crosswind landings. The airport's elevation and central Portuguese location suggest a need for careful terrain and wind assessment during approach and departure procedures.
