About Caravelas Airport

Overview

Caravelas Airport serves the coastal municipality of Caravelas in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Situated at a low elevation of 36 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the southeastern Brazilian coastal region. The airport supports regional connectivity with a single runway capable of handling medium-sized aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions and maritime weather patterns typical of Brazil's eastern seaboard. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and visibility variations due to the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The single runway (6/24) is an asphalt surface measuring 5,020 feet, which accommodates most regional and medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

Caravelas Airport is positioned at coordinates -17.652300, -39.253101, placing it in a relatively flat coastal terrain. The low elevation minimizes significant terrain-related challenges for approach and departure procedures. The airport's geographical positioning suggests potential maritime and coastal weather influences that pilots should carefully monitor during flight planning.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 6/24 orientation indicates potential crosswind considerations depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight weather assessments to understand current wind conditions and their potential impact on landing and takeoff operations. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual flight rules should be carefully reviewed prior to arrival at this medium-sized airport.
