About Parnaíba - Prefeito Doutor João Silva Filho International Airport
Overview
Parnaíba - Prefeito Doutor João Silva Filho International Airport serves the city of Parnaíba in northeastern Brazil, positioned at 23 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway 9/27 measuring 6,890 feet, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect consistently excellent visual flight conditions, with 99.1% of observations reporting VFR weather. The airport experiences predominantly northeast winds averaging 10.7 knots, with maximum gusts up to 18 knots. Temperature ranges between 24°C and 33°C, with an average of 29.7°C, indicating stable, warm tropical conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's low elevation of 23 feet MSL suggests a flat coastal terrain typical of northeastern Brazil. Its geographic coordinates (-2.893750, -41.731998) place it near the Atlantic coast, which likely influences local wind patterns and meteorological conditions. The consistent wind direction from the northeast can provide predictable approach and departure conditions.
Approach Considerations
Given the prevailing northeast winds, runway 9 may offer more favorable landing and takeoff conditions. The exceptional visibility (averaging 10 statute miles) and complete absence of reported fog create reliable approach opportunities. Pilots should anticipate stable wind conditions and prepare for warm temperatures during all operations.
