About Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock Airport

Overview

Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock Airport serves the regional transportation needs in French Guiana, strategically located near the Brazilian border. The airport provides critical connectivity for this remote area, situated at an elevation of 46 feet mean sea level. Its single runway enables medium-sized aircraft operations in this geographically challenging region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's tropical equatorial location suggests consistently warm temperatures and potential for dynamic weather patterns typical of the Amazon basin. Pilots should anticipate potential rapid atmospheric changes, including localized thunderstorm development and high humidity. The airport's elevation of 46 ft MSL provides minimal terrain interference for approach and departure procedures.

Notable Features

Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock Airport features a concrete runway (04/22) measuring 3,937 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's geographical positioning near the Oyapock River and Brazilian border creates unique navigational considerations for pilots. Surrounding terrain is predominantly tropical rainforest, which can influence local meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22 provides the primary approach avenue, with its orientation potentially influenced by prevailing wind patterns in the region. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning, considering the runway's moderate length and the surrounding tropical environment. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended given the airport's geographic complexity.
