About Aeródromo Municipal de Ponte de Sor

Overview

Aeródromo Municipal de Ponte de Sor is a medium airport located in the Ponte de Sor municipality of Portugal, serving regional aviation needs. Situated at 39.211545, -8.057787 with an elevation of 390 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical infrastructure for general aviation and regional transportation in the area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 390 ft MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with potentially stable atmospheric conditions. Pilots should anticipate standard maritime influenced weather typical of central Portugal, with potential variations between seasonal wind patterns that could impact runway 03/21's operational characteristics.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (03/21) measuring 5,906 feet in length, which provides substantial operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographical position suggests a terrain that transitions between coastal and inland landscapes, potentially presenting subtle wind gradient and thermal conditions during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21's considerable length of 5,906 feet offers pilots generous landing and takeoff options with good margin for safe operations. Given the runway's orientation, pilots should assess prevailing wind directions during preflight planning to determine optimal approach and potential crosswind considerations.
