About Orestes Acosta Airport

Overview

Orestes Acosta Airport serves the municipality of Moa in Cuba, functioning as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 16 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 20.653900, -74.922203, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northeastern region of the island. Its single runway configuration supports regional transportation and operational needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 16 feet MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain environment with minimal altitude-related atmospheric challenges. Given its geographical location in Cuba, pilots can expect typical Caribbean maritime weather patterns characterized by warm temperatures and potential seasonal humidity variations. The airport's coastal proximity may introduce localized wind and visibility considerations during approach and departure.

Notable Features

The single runway 07/25 is constructed with asphalt (ASP) and measures 6,102 feet in length, providing substantial operational capacity for medium-sized aircraft. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during landing and takeoff, particularly given the regional wind patterns. The runway's length accommodates a range of aircraft types typical to regional and domestic operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25's extended length of 6,102 feet offers pilots flexibility in approach and landing strategies. The low elevation and asphalt surface provide relatively consistent terrain conditions throughout the year. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime wind influences and prepare for potential crosswind scenarios, particularly when utilizing the runway's primary and secondary headings.
