About Santa Ana Del Yacuma Airport

Overview

Santa Ana Del Yacuma Airport serves the regional transportation needs of Bolivia's Santa Ana del Yacuma municipality. Located at 472 ft mean sea level with coordinates -13.762200, -65.435204, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in a rural area. The airport features a single asphalt runway (14/32) measuring 5,013 feet in length.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at SLSA are predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR), with 73.3% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Temperatures range from 17°C to 39°C, averaging 28.5°C, which can impact aircraft performance. Wind patterns are consistently from the North (0°), with an average speed of 7.8 knots and occasional gusts up to 20 knots, with calm conditions occurring 23.7% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport's elevation of 472 ft MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment typical of the Bolivian lowlands. Runway 14/32 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time and an average crosswind component of just 3.2 knots. This suggests predictable and generally stable approach conditions for most aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

January, November, and December represent the best months for VFR flying, with optimal visibility and weather conditions. Pilots can expect consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility (only 0.2% fog occurrence). The runway's substantial 5,013-foot length accommodates a variety of aircraft types with comfortable margins for safe operations.
