About Pitalito Airport

Overview

Pitalito Airport serves the southern Colombian region of Huila, located at coordinates 1.857770, -76.085700. As a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 4212 feet mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Pitalito area and surrounding municipalities.

Flying Conditions

The airport's high elevation at 4212 ft MSL means pilots should anticipate performance considerations related to density altitude, particularly during warmer periods. Being situated in the Andean region, the airport may experience variable weather conditions typical of Colombian mountain terrain, with potential rapid changes in visibility and wind patterns.

Notable Features

The single runway 06/24 is 4912 feet long with an asphalt (ASP) surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, with the runway aligned approximately 60 degrees from magnetic north, which may require careful wind assessment during approach and landing.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24's length of 4912 feet provides adequate runway distance for most medium aircraft, but pilots should carefully calculate landing and takeoff performance given the significant elevation. The airport's mountain region location suggests a requirement for heightened terrain awareness and precise navigation techniques during approach and departure procedures.
