About J F Mitchell Airport

Overview

J F Mitchell Airport serves Bequia, a small island in the Caribbean's Grenadines chain. Located at coordinates 12.988400, -61.262001, this medium-sized airport provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the island, positioned at an elevation of 15 feet above mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

Being a Caribbean airport, J F Mitchell experiences typical tropical maritime weather patterns with potential for variable wind conditions. The airport's single runway (12/30) is 3,609 feet long with an asphalt surface, which can be influenced by regional trade winds and seasonal meteorological variations.

Notable Features

The airport is situated on an island terrain, which typically introduces complex local wind dynamics and potential orographic effects. Its modest elevation of 15 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potential terrain considerations for approach and departure procedures.

Approach Considerations

Runway 12/30 provides the primary landing surface, with its 3,609-foot asphalt runway accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions typical of Caribbean island environments and prepare for potential wind gradient effects during approach and landing.
