Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 84.9% of observed weather periods offering clear flying conditions. Temperature ranges from 20°C to 38°C with an average of 28.5°C, and wind patterns typically originate from the northeast at an average of 4.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots.

Positioned at coordinates -5.531290, -47.459999, the airport features a single runway (7/25) measuring 5,899 feet with an asphalt surface. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic location suggest potential thermal and wind gradient considerations during approach and departure, particularly during the warmer months.

Approach Considerations

Given the predominant northeast wind direction, runway 07 may offer more favorable landing conditions in typical wind scenarios. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components and prepare for thermal activity common in this tropical latitude. The consistently high visibility (average 10 statute miles) provides reliable visual reference during approaches.
