About Planalto Serrano Regional Airport

Overview

Planalto Serrano Regional Airport serves the municipality of Correia Pinto in Brazil, positioned at an elevation of 2,887 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical regional aviation infrastructure for the Serrano plateau region of Santa Catarina state. The airport supports various aviation operations with its single runway configuration.

Flying Conditions

Located at a significant elevation of 2,887 ft MSL, pilots should anticipate potential density altitude challenges, particularly during warmer periods. The airport's geographical position in southern Brazil suggests potential for variable weather conditions typical of the region's subtropical climate. Wind patterns may significantly impact runway 09/27 operations given the airport's elevated terrain.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway 09/27 measuring 5,912 feet in length, constructed with asphalt surface. Its coordinate location at -27.634128, -50.358253 indicates positioning within a mountainous plateau region, which likely introduces terrain-related considerations for approach and departure procedures. The substantial runway length provides operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios typical of the region's topography. Pilots should prepare for potential elevation-related performance calculations and be attentive to wind conditions that might affect landing and takeoff characteristics. The airport's elevation and geographical context recommend careful pre-flight planning and situational awareness during all phases of flight.
