About Captain Pedro Canga Rodríguez International Airport
Overview
Captain Pedro Canga Rodríguez International Airport serves the Tumbes region in Peru, positioned at an elevation of 115 feet MSL. The airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with a single runway (14/32) measuring 8,202 feet in asphalt surface. Its strategic coastal location near the coordinates -3.552074, -80.381086 provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northwestern Peruvian region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at SPME predominantly feature favorable visual flight rules (VFR), with 46.1% VFR and 52.8% marginal VFR conditions. Winds consistently blow from the west at an average of 6.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 18 knots. Temperature ranges between 21°C and 32°C, with an average of 25.4°C, creating stable thermal conditions for most flight operations.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (14/32) offers consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Crosswinds average a modest 3 knots, presenting minimal lateral landing challenges. Its coastal positioning suggests potential marine layer influences, though historical data indicates no significant fog interference.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal visual conditions during December, November, and January, which represent the airport's best VFR months. The runway's extended 8,202-foot length provides substantial landing margin for most aircraft classes. Prevailing westerly winds consistently support predictable approach and departure patterns, minimizing complex wind navigation scenarios.
