About Canaima Airport
Overview
Canaima Airport serves the Canaima region in Venezuela, positioned at an elevation of 1450 ft mean sea level. The airport supports medium-scale aviation operations with a substantial runway measuring 7070 feet in length. Its geographical location at coordinates 6.231989, -62.854850 places it in a strategically important area for regional transportation.
Flying Conditions
The airport's mid-elevation at 1450 ft suggests a moderate atmospheric environment that can experience variable weather conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations that could impact aircraft performance. The asphalted runway (ASP) indicates a stable surface that can accommodate diverse aircraft types under standard meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
Canaima Airport features a single runway (01/19) aligned in a north-south orientation, which provides flexibility for different wind conditions. The surrounding terrain likely presents typical Venezuelan landscape characteristics, potentially including mountainous or tropical environmental elements. The runway's considerable length of 7070 feet enables operations for medium-sized aircraft with reasonable performance margins.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's extended length provides pilots with significant landing and takeoff options. Standard approach procedures should consider the airport's mid-elevation and potential local terrain influences. Pilots should prepare standard altitude and approach calculations accounting for the 1450 ft mean sea level elevation when planning operations at this airport.
