About Porto Seguro Airport

Overview

Porto Seguro Airport serves the popular coastal city in Bahia state, Brazil, handling significant regional and tourist air traffic. Located at an elevation of 169 feet mean sea level, the airport supports large aircraft operations with its 6,562-foot runway positioned at coordinates -16.438426, -39.080584.

Flying Conditions

Situated in coastal southeastern Brazil, the airport experiences typical tropical maritime weather patterns with potential for high humidity and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal and sea breeze interactions that could impact approach and departure characteristics, particularly during seasonal transition periods.

Notable Features

The single runway (10/28) is constructed of asphalt, providing a substantial 6,562-foot length suitable for larger commercial aircraft. The airport's coastal location suggests potential for rapidly changing localized weather conditions, with terrain and marine influences potentially creating microclimatic effects around the airport environment.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, with winds potentially varying between coastal and inland air masses. Pilots should prepare for potential wind gradient effects due to the airport's proximity to coastal terrain and be prepared to adjust approach and landing techniques accordingly.
