About Paramillo Airport

Overview

Paramillo Airport serves the San Cristóbal region in Venezuela, situated at an elevation of 3,314 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting regional transportation and connectivity. The airport's strategic location in western Venezuela makes it an important facility for general aviation and regional air services.

Flying Conditions

Located at a significant elevation of 3,314 feet, pilots should anticipate higher density altitude conditions that can impact aircraft performance. The airport's positioning in the Venezuelan landscape suggests potential for variable wind patterns and potential orographic weather influences. Temperature and altitude variations will require careful preflight performance calculations, especially for aircraft with marginal climb capabilities.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (02/20) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,571 feet in length. Its geographic coordinates at 7.801320, -72.202904 indicate placement in a terrain-rich environment, likely with surrounding mountainous or hilly terrain typical of the region. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges during approach and landing.

Approach Considerations

Runway 02/20 provides the primary approach path, with pilots needing to carefully assess wind conditions given the airport's elevation and potential terrain interactions. The 3,571-foot runway requires careful performance planning, particularly for larger aircraft or those operating near maximum weight limitations. Standard preflight wind and terrain assessment will be critical for safe operations at this airport.
