About Captain Rogelio Castillo National Airport

Overview

Captain Rogelio Castillo National Airport serves the Celaya region in Mexico, positioned at an elevation of 5,709 feet mean sea level. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the central Mexican state, supporting regional commercial and general aviation operations. Its medium-sized classification indicates substantial capacity for varied aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

Located at significant altitude, the airport's 5,709 ft elevation will impact aircraft performance, particularly during warmer months and with higher gross weights. The airport's geographic position suggests potential for variable wind conditions along the 08/26 runway heading. Pilots should anticipate density altitude effects and plan accordingly for takeoff and landing performance.

Notable Features

The single runway (08/26) measures 6,284 feet in length and is constructed of asphalt, providing adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's coordinates at 20.545998, -100.886539 place it in a terrain-transitional zone that may involve complex local wind patterns and potential mechanical turbulence. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning with these geographical considerations in mind.

Approach Considerations

Runway 08/26 offers a straight-in approach with consistent asphalt surface conditions. Given the runway's orientation, prevailing wind patterns will likely influence approach and landing preferences. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and velocity, recognizing the potential for crosswind components at this elevation.
