About Virac Airport
Overview
Virac Airport serves the Catanduanes province in the Philippines, located on the eastern seaboard of Luzon island. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 121 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential transportation infrastructure for the regional community and supports various aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions and tropical maritime weather patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential meteorological challenges typical of Philippine island environments, including potential convective activity and seasonal precipitation variations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single concrete runway (06/24) measuring 5,118 feet in length, suitable for regional and domestic aircraft operations. Its geographic position at coordinates 13.576400, 124.206001 indicates proximity to coastal terrain, which may influence local wind dynamics and approach considerations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 06/24 provides a standard orientation that may require careful wind assessment during approach and landing. Given the airport's moderate elevation and coastal setting, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear and turbulence, particularly during seasonal weather transitions.
