About Edu Chaves Field
Overview
Edu Chaves Field serves the city of Guaratinguetá in Brazil, situated at an elevation of 1,761 feet MSL. As a medium airport, it supports regional aviation operations with a single runway (2/20) measuring 5,089 feet of asphalt surface. The airport's location at coordinates -22.791599, -45.204800 positions it in a strategic area for transportation and regional connectivity.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Edu Chaves Field are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 71.7% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Pilots can expect a consistent wind pattern predominantly from the northeast (45°) at an average of 5.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 17 knots. Temperature variations range from 9°C to 37°C, with an average of 25°C, indicating potential thermal considerations during flight planning.
Notable Features
The airport's elevation of 1,761 feet suggests moderate terrain interaction that pilots should consider during approach and departure. Seasonal variations show optimal VFR conditions in December, September, and October, which may influence flight scheduling and planning. Calm wind conditions occur in 1.7% of observations, with visibility consistently averaging 10 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Given the prevailing northeast winds, runway 2/20 is likely the primary approach direction. Pilots should anticipate minimal low visibility challenges, with IFR conditions occurring in only 8.6% of observations and extremely rare LIFR conditions at 0.9%. The consistent visibility and wind patterns suggest generally predictable approach conditions throughout the year.
