About San Isidro Air Base

San Isidro Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the DO AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

San Isidro Air Base is a medium airport located in San Isidro, Dominican Republic, serving an important regional aviation role. Situated at an elevation of 111 feet mean sea level, the airport provides strategic aviation infrastructure in this part of the Dominican Republic. Its ICAO code MDSI identifies it within international aviation communication and navigation systems.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation at 111 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of Caribbean coastal regions. Pilots can expect generally consistent weather patterns, with potential variations influenced by seasonal tropical maritime air masses. The airport's geographical position near the coast may introduce occasional wind shifts and localized weather developments.

Notable Features

San Isidro Air Base features a single runway (03/21) measuring 7,000 feet with an asphalt (ASP) surface. The runway's substantial length accommodates a variety of aircraft types and provides operational flexibility for different aviation missions. Its precise coordinates (18.503700, -69.761703) place it in a strategically accessible location within the Dominican Republic's transportation infrastructure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 offers bidirectional approach capabilities, with pilots selecting runway ends based on prevailing wind conditions. The 7,000-foot asphalt runway provides sufficient length for most medium-sized aircraft operations, supporting consistent and reliable approach and departure procedures. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during flight planning and approach preparation.
