About Aracati Dragão do Mar Regional Airport
Overview
Aracati Dragão do Mar Regional Airport serves the municipal region of Aracati in northeastern Brazil, located in the state of Ceará. As a medium-sized regional airport, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for local transportation and regional connectivity. The airport sits at an elevation of 128 feet above mean sea level, situated at coordinates -4.568896, -37.805135.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions typical of northeastern Brazilian climate zones. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime meteorological influences that can create localized wind shifts and visibility changes. The airport's asphalted runway (9/27) measuring 3,937 feet provides reasonable operational flexibility for regional aircraft.
Notable Features
Aracati Dragão do Mar Regional Airport is positioned in a geographic area characterized by coastal terrain and potential maritime environmental interactions. The single runway (9/27) orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should be prepared for potential thermal and sea breeze effects common in coastal Brazilian regions.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations should account for the runway's 3,937-foot length, which accommodates medium-sized regional aircraft. The airport's elevation of 128 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with minimal terrain complexity. Runway 09/27 provides standard directional options based on wind conditions, with standard left-hand traffic patterns expected.
