About Itacoatiara Airport
Overview
Itacoatiara Airport serves the municipality of Itacoatiara in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, situated in the northwestern region of Brazil. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 142 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in this Amazon basin region. The airport supports regional transportation and likely serves commercial, cargo, and potentially some general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Located near the equator at coordinates -3.126539, -58.481668, Itacoatiara experiences consistent tropical climate conditions with high humidity and potential rapid weather changes. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and localized thunderstorm development, which are characteristic of the Amazon rainforest environment. The airport's relatively low elevation suggests minimal terrain-induced weather variations.
Notable Features
The single runway (14/32) is 4,970 feet long and constructed with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, particularly during seasonal wind pattern shifts. The airport's location in the Amazon region implies potential challenges related to vegetation, humidity, and potential limited surrounding infrastructure.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32's length and asphalt surface provide reasonable operational flexibility for approaching aircraft. Given the equatorial location, wind variations may influence preferred runway selection, though specific local wind rose data would be needed for definitive guidance. Pilots should anticipate potential rapid meteorological changes typical of tropical environments during approach and landing.
