About El Trompillo Airport
Overview
El Trompillo Airport serves Santa Cruz, Bolivia as a medium-sized airport located at 1371 ft MSL. Situated at coordinates -17.811600, -63.171501, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Its single runway 16/34 spans 9,098 feet and is constructed with asphalt (ASP) surface.
Flying Conditions
Statistical data indicates predominantly VFR conditions at 73% of observed periods, with MVFR conditions occurring 17.3% of the time. Winds predominantly blow from the north (0°) with an average speed of 11.7 knots and occasional gusts up to 30 knots. Temperature ranges from 14°C to 37°C, with an average of 27°C, suggesting potential thermal variations during operations.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 16/34 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. Crosswind conditions are minimal, averaging only 2.5 knots. January, September, and November represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions for pilots.
Approach Considerations
With runway 16/34 oriented north-south and demonstrating excellent wind characteristics, pilots can expect predictable approach conditions. The long 9,098 ft runway provides substantial landing and takeoff margins. Low occurrence of adverse weather (IFR conditions at only 8.9%, LIFR at 0.8%) suggests generally stable approach environments.
