About Golfito Airport

Overview

Golfito Airport serves the southern Pacific coastal region of Costa Rica, located in the Puntarenas province. Situated at 49 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the Golfito area, supporting regional and local aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location near 8.6540°N, 83.1822°W suggests potential maritime weather influences with possible variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential tropical weather patterns typical of Costa Rica's southern Pacific region, including potential seasonal precipitation and humidity variations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (13/31) measuring 4,593 feet long with an asphalt surface. Its relatively low elevation and proximity to coastal terrain may require careful attention to local topographical and wind conditions during approach and departure operations.

Approach Considerations

With a runway orientation of 13/31, pilots should consider prevailing wind directions when planning approaches. The 4,593-foot runway length accommodates medium-sized aircraft, but precise performance calculations are recommended based on specific aircraft characteristics and current meteorological conditions.
