About Antonio Roldán Betancur Airport

Overview

Antonio Roldán Betancur Airport serves the Carepa region in Colombia, situated at a low elevation of 46 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the local area, supporting both commercial and potential regional aviation operations. Its strategic location at coordinates 7.811960, -76.716400 makes it an important access point in this part of Colombia.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with approximately 70.8% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Temperature remains consistently warm, averaging 26.7°C with a range between 22°C and 34°C. Wind patterns are stable, with a prevailing southerly direction at 180° and an average speed of 4.6 knots, rarely exceeding 16 knots. September through November represent the best months for consistent VFR flying conditions.

Notable Features

The single runway 15/33 extends 7,153 feet and is surfaced with asphalt, providing substantial operational flexibility. Wind conditions strongly favor this runway, with 100% favorable wind alignment and minimal average crosswind of just 1.9 knots. The airport's low elevation and geographical positioning suggest relatively straightforward terrain interactions for arriving and departing aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33 offers consistent wind conditions that minimize crosswind challenges for pilots. With exceptional visibility averaging 10 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog occurs in only 0.6% of observations), approaches should generally be straightforward. Pilots can expect predictable meteorological conditions, particularly during the peak VFR months of October, September, and November.
