About Anápolis Airbase

Overview

Anápolis Airbase (SBAN) is a medium-sized airport located in the central Brazilian state of Goiás, situated near the city of Anápolis. The airport sits at an elevation of 3,731 feet MSL and features two asphalted runways capable of handling substantial aircraft operations. Its strategic location makes it an important aviation facility in the central-west region of Brazil.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Anápolis are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 80.2% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The airport experiences consistent eastern winds averaging 5.5 knots, with temperatures ranging from 14°C to 34°C and an average of 22.8°C. September through November represent the most favorable VFR months, offering optimal flying weather with high visibility and stable atmospheric conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two parallel runways: 06L/24R with a length of 10,827 feet and 06R/24L measuring 7,326 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind of just 3.5 knots. The airport's elevation and geographical positioning in the Brazilian central plateau contribute to generally stable meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect consistently favorable approach conditions with high visibility averaging 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (2.5% of observations). The parallel runway configuration allows flexible operational planning, with both runways offering near-identical wind characteristics. The low frequency of instrument meteorological conditions (IFR at 4.4%, LIFR at 6.3%) suggests generally predictable approach environments.
