About Santos Nero Moura Air Base / Guarujá Airport

Santos Nero Moura Air Base / Guarujá Airport is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the BR AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Santos Nero Moura Air Base serves Guarujá, a coastal city in São Paulo state, Brazil. Located at 13 ft elevation with coordinates -23.928192, -46.300195, this medium airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. The single runway (17/35) extends 4,560 feet with an asphalt surface.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 53.2% of observations confirming clear weather and an additional 39.2% in marginal VFR. Prevailing winds from the southeast (135°) average 5.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 29 knots. Temperature ranges from 15°C to 38°C, averaging 24.4°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions.

Notable Features

Situated in a coastal environment, the airport's low elevation and geographical position suggest minimal terrain challenges for approaching aircraft. The runway alignment (17/35) and consistent southeastern wind patterns provide predictable approach dynamics. Wind data indicates a favorable 100% wind alignment for the primary runway, with an average crosswind component of just 2.9 knots.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during January, December, and September, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The runway's wind characteristics and low crosswind potential make it favorable for most general aviation and regional aircraft operations. Calm wind conditions occur in only 1.2% of observations, further enhancing approach predictability.
