About Bom Jesus da Lapa Airport
Overview
Bom Jesus da Lapa Airport serves the municipality of Bom Jesus da Lapa in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Located at an elevation of 1,454 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the region. The airport supports regional connectivity in an area of Brazil characterized by rural and semi-arid terrain.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 1,454 ft MSL indicates a moderate altitude environment typical of the Brazilian interior. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations, which can impact aircraft performance, especially during warmer months. The single asphalt runway (18/36) measuring 3,973 feet provides standard operational capabilities for regional aircraft.
Notable Features
Bom Jesus da Lapa Airport's runway orientation (18/36) suggests a north-south alignment, which can influence wind patterns and approach strategies. The surrounding terrain likely consists of the characteristic landscape of western Bahia, with potential terrain considerations for approach and departure procedures. The airport's coordinates (-13.262100, -43.408100) place it in a region with potentially challenging meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
Given the runway's length of 3,973 feet, pilots should carefully calculate landing and takeoff performance, particularly with higher ambient temperatures. The north-south runway orientation indicates potential crosswind scenarios, particularly during seasonal wind shifts. Standard instrument approach planning should account for the airport's moderate elevation and potential regional meteorological variations.
