About Barra do Garças Airport

Overview

Barra do Garças Airport serves the municipal region of Barra do Garças in central Brazil, located at an elevation of 1147 feet above mean sea level. The medium-sized airport supports regional transportation with a substantial asphalt runway measuring 5243 feet in length. Its strategic location in the Brazilian state provides critical aviation infrastructure for the central-western region.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Barra do Garças are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 85.7% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The airport experiences consistent easterly winds averaging 5.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 16 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 20°C to 41°C, with an average of 30.6°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations.

Notable Features

The airport is situated in a region with relatively stable meteorological characteristics, featuring minimal fog and consistently high visibility averaging 10 statute miles. Seasonal variations are most moderate during September, October, and November, which represent the best months for VFR flying. The airport's geographic position suggests a terrain environment typical of Brazil's central plateau.

Approach Considerations

Given the prevailing easterly winds at 90 degrees, runway 25 may offer more favorable approach conditions for landing. The airport's single runway (7/25) provides straightforward navigation, with no significant reported obstacles in approach paths. Pilots should anticipate warm temperatures and plan aircraft performance accordingly, especially during peak daytime hours.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers.
