The airport supports regional transportation and serves as an important connectivity point for the Tocantins area.
Flying Conditions
Located near the equator at coordinates -7.227870, -48.240501, Araguaína experiences tropical climate conditions with significant seasonal variations. Pilots should anticipate potential thunderstorm activity and rapid weather changes typical of the region. The airport's elevation of 771 ft MSL provides relatively stable approach conditions for most aircraft operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (9/27) with an asphalt surface measuring 5,919 feet in length. Its geographic position in central Brazil means surrounding terrain is predominantly flat, with minimal terrain-related approach challenges. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during certain wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 9/27's significant length of 5,919 feet accommodates most medium-sized aircraft with reasonable operational margins. Pilots should prepare for potential crosswind scenarios given the runway's east-west orientation. Standard approach procedures should be followed, with careful attention to local wind patterns and potential thermal activity common in the region.
