About Beja Airport / Airbase
Overview
Beja Airport, located in southern Portugal, serves as a medium-sized airport with significant military and civilian aviation capabilities. Situated at an elevation of 636 feet MSL near the city of Beja, the airport offers two substantial concrete runways capable of handling diverse aircraft operations. Its strategic location provides important aviation infrastructure for the Alentejo region.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 73.4% of observations reporting VFR conditions. The airport experiences consistent western winds averaging 7.4 knots, with occasional gusts up to 28 knots. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from -1°C to 37°C, with an average of 14.6°C, which supports stable flying conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
Both runways (01L/19R and 01R/19L) demonstrate 100% wind favorability, with consistent low average crosswind conditions of 5.1 knots. The airport experiences fog in 16.5% of observations, primarily during non-peak months. Visibility is consistently good, with an average of 10 statute miles and rare instances of visibility below 3 miles.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the optimal months for visual flying, characterized by the most stable weather conditions. Prevailing westerly winds at 270 degrees suggest consistent runway 19 approaches. Pilots should anticipate potential fog and prepare accordingly, though it affects less than one-fifth of observations. Both runways provide extensive length (11,319 and 9,682 feet), offering flexibility for various aircraft types.
