About Barra del Colorado Airport

Overview

Barra del Colorado Airport serves the Pococi region in Costa Rica as a medium-sized airport located at 10.768700, -83.585602. Situated near sea level at just 3 ft MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting regional transportation and operational needs.

Flying Conditions

Being located at a low elevation near the coast suggests potential for high humidity and variable wind conditions typical of tropical maritime environments. Pilots should anticipate potential challenges related to proximity to coastal weather systems, which can generate rapidly changing atmospheric conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (16/34) measuring 3,281 feet long with an asphalt surface. Its geographic position near the coastline implies potential terrain variations and microclimatic influences that could impact standard flight operations, particularly during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

Runway 16/34's orientation suggests potential wind alignment considerations for pilots during approach and takeoff. Given the airport's coastal location, crosswind components and localized wind shifts should be carefully evaluated during flight planning and execution.
