About Las Flores Airport

Overview

Las Flores Airport serves the El Banco region in Colombia, functioning as a medium-sized airport situated at 111 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 9.045540, -73.974900, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Being positioned at a relatively low elevation of 111 ft MSL, Las Flores Airport experiences typical tropical Colombian weather patterns with potential humidity and thermal variations. Pilots should anticipate standard atmospheric conditions consistent with the coastal/lowland geographic region, which can include afternoon convective activity.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) measuring 3,985 feet in length, constructed with an asphalt surface suitable for medium aircraft operations. Its geographic positioning suggests a terrain that is likely relatively flat, consistent with the characteristics of the El Banco municipal area.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's orientation indicates potential wind influence from east-west directions, which pilots should consider during approach and landing planning. The 3,985-foot runway length requires careful performance calculations, particularly for larger aircraft or during challenging meteorological conditions.
