About Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport

Overview

Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport serves as the primary airport for Brasília, the capital city of Brazil. Located at 3,497 feet above mean sea level, this large airport is a critical transportation hub in the central region of the country. The airport supports commercial, charter, and potential military aviation operations with its two substantial asphalt runways.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a significant elevation of 3,497 feet MSL, pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations related to altitude density. The airport's geographical location in Brazil's central plateau suggests potential for varied meteorological conditions, which can impact aircraft performance and approach strategies. Pilots should carefully review current weather reports and calculate performance parameters specific to the airport's elevation.

Notable Features

The airport features two parallel runways with substantial length: Runway 11L/29R at 10,499 feet and Runway 11R/29L at 10,827 feet. These long runways provide flexibility for various aircraft types and operational requirements. The airport's coordinates at -15.869167, -47.920834 place it in the central Brazilian plateau, which presents unique geographical and atmospheric characteristics for aviators.

Approach Considerations

Both parallel runways are oriented approximately 110/290 degrees, suggesting potential wind alignment considerations for approach and departure. The substantial runway lengths (over 10,000 feet) provide significant margin for most aircraft operations, offering flexibility in landing and takeoff performance. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach briefings, paying particular attention to the airport's elevated terrain and potential wind conditions.
