About Nosara Airport

Overview

Nosara Airport serves the coastal region of Nicoya in Costa Rica, providing critical aviation access to this tropical peninsula. Located at approximately 9.98 degrees north latitude and 85.65 degrees west longitude, the airport supports regional transportation and tourism for the Guanacaste province.

Flying Conditions

The airport sits at a low elevation of 33 feet mean sea level, which typically suggests minimal terrain-related wind interference. Being situated in a coastal tropical environment, pilots should anticipate potential humidity and temperature variations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during approach and takeoff.

Notable Features

The single runway (04/24) is 3,281 feet long and surfaced with asphalt, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, particularly given the airport's proximity to the Pacific coastline and surrounding terrain of the Nicoya Peninsula.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/24's length requires careful performance calculations, especially for larger aircraft or during challenging meteorological conditions. Pilots should thoroughly assess aircraft weight, temperature, and wind conditions when planning approaches, utilizing the runway's full available length for safe operations.
