About Congonhas Airport
Overview
Congonhas Airport serves São Paulo, Brazil's largest metropolitan area, as a critical medium-sized urban airport. Located at 2631 feet mean sea level, the airport handles significant commercial and general aviation traffic in a densely populated region. Its strategic positioning within São Paulo makes it a key transportation hub for the southeastern Brazilian aviation network.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 51% of observations indicating clear weather and an additional 28.7% in marginal VFR status. Temperature variations range from 11°C to 35°C, with an average of 20.2°C, providing generally stable flying conditions. The best VFR months are December, November, and January, offering optimal flying weather for pilots.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel asphalt runways: 17L/35R (4905 ft) and 17R/35L (6365 ft), both aligned in a north-south orientation. Consistent wind patterns from the south (180°) average 8.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots. The airport's elevation and geographic location contribute to its relatively stable wind characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind of just 3.6 knots. Visibility consistently averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog occurs in only 0.1% of observations). Pilots can anticipate reliable approach conditions, particularly during the peak VFR months of late calendar year.
