About Coronel Altino Machado Airport

Overview

Coronel Altino Machado Airport serves Governador Valadares, a city located in the interior of Minas Gerais state, Brazil. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway at 5,581 feet, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and supports commercial and general aviation operations in the southeastern Brazilian region.

Flying Conditions

Situated at an elevation of 561 feet mean sea level, the airport experiences typical inland Brazilian terrain weather patterns with potential thermal variations. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during warmer months.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway 07/25 is constructed of asphalt, oriented in an east-west configuration. The geographical coordinates at -18.895882, -41.982869 place the airport in a region characterized by rolling terrain, which may introduce localized wind patterns and potential mechanical turbulence during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Given the runway's east-west orientation, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind conditions during landing and takeoff. The 5,581-foot runway length provides adequate space for most medium-sized aircraft, but precise performance calculations should be made considering local elevation and potential atmospheric conditions.
