About San Tomé Airport

Overview

San Tomé Airport serves the city of El Tigre in Venezuela, functioning as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 861 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 8.945147, -64.151085, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Its two asphalt runways support varied aircraft operations in eastern Venezuela.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 861 ft MSL suggests a relatively moderate terrain environment with potential for thermal variations typical of Venezuelan tropical regions. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude considerations, especially during warmer daytime periods. The airport's geographic position may experience localized weather patterns characteristic of northeastern Venezuela.

Notable Features

San Tomé Airport features two runways with distinctly different lengths: runway 08/26 measuring 6,299 feet and runway 18/36 measuring 1,785 feet. The longer runway provides more operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft, while the shorter runway may have more limited utility. The asphalt surface on both runways indicates standard ground infrastructure for regional aviation activities.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing wind conditions, with the longer 08/26 runway offering more comprehensive approach options. The significant length differential between runways (6,299 ft vs 1,785 ft) suggests pilots should carefully evaluate aircraft performance parameters and current meteorological conditions when planning arrivals and departures.
