About Presidente Itamar Franco Airport

Overview

Presidente Itamar Franco Airport serves the city of Juiz de Fora in Minas Gerais, Brazil, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at coordinates -21.513086, -43.173069, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the surrounding metropolitan area, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Situated at an elevation of 1,348 feet above mean sea level, the airport experiences typical subtropical highland climate conditions characteristic of southeastern Brazil. Pilots should anticipate potential variable wind conditions along the primary runway 08/26, which measures 8,284 feet in length and is surfaced with asphalt.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical positioning in the Brazilian highlands suggests potential terrain-related considerations for approach and departure procedures. With dual parallel runways both oriented 08/26, the airport offers operational flexibility and redundancy for aircraft movements under different wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

The symmetrical runway configuration (two 8,284-foot asphalt runways) provides pilots with consistent approach options regardless of wind direction. Given the airport's elevation and regional topography, standard terrain awareness and appropriate climb performance planning are recommended during arrival and departure operations.
