About Caicara del Orinoco Airport

Overview

Caicara del Orinoco Airport serves the Bolivar region in Venezuela, situated at coordinates 7.625510, -66.162804. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 141 feet mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and connectivity in this part of Venezuela.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation at 141 ft MSL suggests a relatively stable atmospheric environment typical of Venezuelan lowland regions. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations due to the airport's geographic location, which could impact aircraft performance during takeoff and landing.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (11/29) with an asphalt surface measuring 4,920 feet in length. Its geographic positioning indicates proximity to the Orinoco River basin, which may introduce specific wind patterns and terrain-related considerations for aviators navigating the approach and departure corridors.

Approach Considerations

Runway 11/29's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios that pilots must carefully evaluate during landing and takeoff operations. The 4,920-foot runway provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft, but precise performance calculations remain critical based on specific aircraft characteristics and prevailing meteorological conditions.
