About Juana Azurduy De Padilla Airport
Overview
Juana Azurduy De Padilla Airport serves Sucre, Bolivia, as a critical medium-sized airport located at a high elevation of 9,540 feet mean sea level. The airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the Chuquisaca Department in southern Bolivia, connecting the region with broader national and potentially regional air networks.
Flying Conditions
Due to its high elevation at 9,540 feet MSL, pilots must carefully consider altitude performance characteristics and potential reduced aircraft capabilities. The airport's significant elevation will impact aircraft performance, engine efficiency, and required runway length for takeoff and landing operations. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude challenges, particularly during warmer periods.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (05/23) measuring 9,300 feet in length, constructed of concrete, which provides substantial operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographic coordinates at -19.007099, -65.288696 place it in a mountainous region, suggesting potential terrain-related navigation considerations and the need for precise approach procedures.
Approach Considerations
Given the runway's 05/23 orientation, pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions and prepare appropriate crosswind landing techniques. The substantial 9,300-foot runway length offers significant margin for landing and takeoff, which can be particularly beneficial at the airport's high elevation. Standard mountainous airport approach protocols should be observed, with extra attention to terrain and potential wind gradient effects.
