About Gustavo Rizo Airport

Overview

Gustavo Rizo Airport serves the municipal area of Baracoa in Cuba, positioned at coordinates 20.365299, -74.506203. As a medium-sized airport situated at 26 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northeastern region of the country. The airport supports regional transportation and connectivity for this coastal Cuban municipality.

Flying Conditions

Located in a tropical maritime environment, Gustavo Rizo Airport experiences consistent warm temperatures and potential maritime weather influences. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the airport's coastal positioning. The single runway (16/34) measuring 6,070 feet in length offers adequate operational capacity for medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

The concrete runway (CON) indicates a robust surface capable of handling various aircraft types. Its geographical location near the coastline suggests potential exposure to maritime wind patterns and possible crosswind conditions during approach and departure. The relatively low elevation of 26 feet MSL indicates minimal terrain complexity in the immediate airport vicinity.

Approach Considerations

Runway 16/34's significant length of 6,070 feet provides flexibility for different aircraft categories and operational requirements. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind shifts given the airport's coastal positioning, with careful attention to crosswind components during approach and landing. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended for consistent navigation.
