About Graciosa Airport

Overview

Graciosa Airport serves Santa Cruz da Graciosa in the Azores archipelago, located on the island of Graciosa. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 86 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential transportation infrastructure for this remote Portuguese island region. The airport supports regional connectivity and serves as a critical aviation hub for the local community.

Flying Conditions

Being situated in the Azores, Graciosa Airport experiences maritime Atlantic climate conditions characterized by variable winds and potential rapid weather changes. The airport's elevation of 86 feet MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for marine layer formations. Pilots should anticipate dynamic wind conditions, particularly given the airport's island location and oceanic proximity.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (09/27) measuring 4,529 feet in length, constructed with concrete (CON) surface. Its geographic coordinates at 39.092201, -28.029800 place it in a potentially challenging maritime terrain environment typical of the Azorean islands. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's substantial 4,529-foot length provides reasonable operational flexibility for most regional aircraft types. Given the airport's island setting, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear and rapidly changing meteorological conditions. Standard approach procedures should account for the maritime environment and the airport's modest elevation.
