About Francisco de Assis Airport
Overview
Francisco de Assis Airport serves the city of Juiz de Fora in Brazil, functioning as a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 2,989 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates -21.791482, -43.386072, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the regional transportation network. Its single runway (03/21) extends 5,036 feet and is constructed with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 2,989 feet MSL presents considerations for aircraft performance, particularly during warmer temperatures or with higher gross weights. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude effects that could impact takeoff and landing characteristics. The geographical location suggests potential for variable weather conditions typical of the Brazilian plateau region.
Notable Features
The airport's runway orientation of 03/21 indicates a northwest to southeast alignment, which may influence wind patterns and approach strategies. With a 5,036-foot asphalt runway, the airport can accommodate medium-sized aircraft typical of regional and domestic operations. The terrain surrounding Juiz de Fora is characterized by mountainous topography, which could generate localized wind and turbulence effects.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should consider the runway's length and elevation when calculating performance parameters. Runway 03 and Runway 21 both offer 5,036 feet of paved surface, providing flexibility for landing and takeoff directions based on prevailing winds. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning, considering the airport's elevation and potential terrain-induced meteorological variations.
