Overview
Carajás Airport serves the mineral-rich region of Parauapebas in the Brazilian state of Pará. Located at an elevation of 2,064 feet MSL, the airport is a critical infrastructure point for regional transportation and industrial logistics in the Amazon basin. Its single asphalt runway provides essential connectivity for commercial, cargo, and potential resource extraction operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Carajás Airport are predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR), with 61.2% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Pilots can expect consistent northeast winds averaging 4.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 18 knots. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 19°C to 33°C, with an average of 25.3°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport is situated in a region characterized by the Carajás Mountain Range, presenting potential terrain considerations for approach and departure procedures. Its geographical location suggests potential for rapid weather changes typical of Amazonian microclimates. The airport's elevation and positioning require pilots to be attentive to local topographical influences on wind patterns and visibility.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28 offers favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 2.9 knots. October, November, and September represent the most consistent VFR months, providing optimal flying conditions. Pilots should note that while fog occurs in 4.5% of observations, visibility typically remains excellent at an average of 10 statute miles.
