About Guapiles Airport

Overview

Guapiles Airport serves the Pococi region in Costa Rica, strategically positioned at 10.217200, -83.796997. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 883 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northeastern Costa Rican landscape. The airport supports regional transportation and potentially agricultural or commercial aviation needs in this area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 883 ft MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment with potential for variable atmospheric conditions typical of tropical Central American regions. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and precipitation variations that can impact visibility and surface conditions. The concrete runway (03/21) suggests stable ground operations during most weather scenarios.

Notable Features

The single runway (03/21) measures 3,609 feet in length, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on local terrain and wind patterns. The airport's location in Pococi provides a critical aviation link in a region characterized by diverse tropical topography.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21's concrete surface and moderate length require standard approach considerations for medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should be prepared for potential terrain-influenced wind shifts and conduct standard terrain awareness procedures. Standard instrument approach planning should account for the airport's 883 ft elevation and surrounding geographical features.
