About Sierra Maestra International Airport
Overview
Sierra Maestra International Airport serves the Manzanillo region in Cuba, positioned at an elevation of 112 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 20.288605, -77.087545, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the southeastern Cuban coastal area. The airport's single runway (08/26) spans 7,875 feet with an asphalt surface, supporting regional and potentially limited international operations.
Flying Conditions
Situated in a coastal Cuban environment, Sierra Maestra International Airport experiences tropical maritime weather conditions typical of the Caribbean region. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and thermal variations consistent with the airport's low elevation of 112 feet MSL. Wind patterns along the 08/26 runway axis may present crosswind challenges during certain seasonal periods.
Notable Features
The airport's runway orientation (08/26) suggests alignment with prevailing regional wind patterns. With a substantial 7,875-foot asphalt runway, the airport can accommodate medium-sized aircraft and provides reasonable operational flexibility. The surrounding geographic context of Manzanillo suggests potential terrain considerations for approach and departure procedures.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should consider the runway's 08/26 orientation and potential crosswind components. The airport's 112-foot elevation indicates a relatively low-altitude operational environment with minimal terrain interference. Pilots should prepare standard instrument approach procedures appropriate for a medium-sized Cuban airport with an asphalt runway.
