About Dr Juan C Angara Airport

Overview

Dr Juan C Angara Airport serves the municipality of Baler in the Aurora province of the Philippines. Located at 15.729309, 121.500034, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northeastern coastal region of Luzon. The airport is situated at an elevation of 108 feet above mean sea level, facilitating regional transportation and local connectivity.

Flying Conditions

Baler's coastal location suggests potential for variable maritime weather conditions that pilots should carefully monitor. The airport's elevation of 108 ft MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for humidity and marine-influenced atmospheric conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and localized weather phenomena typical of coastal Philippine terrain.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (05/23) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,937 feet in length. Its geographical positioning near the Pacific coast suggests potential terrain-induced wind patterns and localized meteorological variations. The runway orientation allows for operations aligned with typical regional wind directions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23 provides a straightforward approach configuration for aircraft compatible with its 3,937-foot asphalt surface. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning considering the runway length and potential coastal wind conditions. Standard approach procedures should account for the airport's low-elevation coastal environment and surrounding terrain characteristics.
