About Oiapoque Airport

Overview

Oiapoque Airport serves the remote region of northern Brazil, situated near the French Guiana border. Located at 3.854120, -51.797056 and elevated at 53 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure in an isolated geographical area. The airport supports regional connectivity with its single asphalt runway measuring 3937 feet.

Flying Conditions

Meteorological data indicates predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 77.1% of observations supporting VFR operations. Wind patterns are consistently easterly at an average of 4.6 knots, with occasional peaks up to 13 knots and calm conditions occurring 27.9% of the time. Temperature ranges from 21°C to 35°C, averaging 26.4°C, which suggests stable thermal conditions for most of the year.

Notable Features

The airport is positioned in a tropical region with minimal terrain complexity. Its low elevation of 53 ft MSL suggests minimal altitude-related challenges for arrivals and departures. The geographical location near the equator contributes to consistent weather patterns, with October, November, and September presenting the most stable flying conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 3/21 offers flexibility given the prevailing easterly winds at 90 degrees. Pilots should anticipate excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with rare instances of reduced visibility or fog. The statistical profile suggests minimal meteorological impediments, with only 5.2% of observations indicating instrument flight conditions and virtually no reports of visibility below 3 statute miles.
