About La Fria Airport

Overview

La Fria Airport (SVLF) is a medium-sized airport located in Venezuela at coordinates 8.239167, -72.271027. Situated at an elevation of 305 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves regional transportation needs in its geographical area. The primary runway 01/19 is a 6,643-foot asphalt surface capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Pilots should anticipate typical tropical highland weather conditions given the airport's Venezuelan location and moderate elevation. The 305-foot MSL elevation suggests a relatively stable atmospheric environment, though regional meteorological variations can impact flight operations. Seasonal wind patterns may influence runway selection and approach strategies.

Notable Features

The airport features one primary runway (01/19) with an asphalt surface stretching 6,643 feet in length. A secondary runway designated 18/36 is listed with unknown characteristics, which suggests potential limitations or incomplete infrastructure documentation. The geographic coordinates indicate the airport is situated in a potentially mountainous or hilly terrain region.

Approach Considerations

Approach considerations should focus on the primary runway 01/19, which offers substantial length for most medium-sized aircraft. Pilots must conduct thorough terrain and obstacle assessments given the airport's location in a potentially complex geographical environment. Standard instrument approach procedures should be carefully reviewed and verified through current aeronautical charts and local aviation authorities.
