About Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport

Overview

Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport serves Ciudad de la Costa, Uruguay, as a major international airport. Located at 105 ft MSL with coordinates -34.835647, -56.026497, the airport features three runways with lengths ranging from 5,577 to 10,499 feet. It is a critical transportation hub for the region, supporting commercial and potentially military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at SUMU are predominantly favorable for flying, with 84.6% of observations indicating VFR conditions. The airport experiences prevailing southeast winds at an average of 8.8 knots, with temperatures ranging from 4°C to 38°C and an average of 20.1°C. January, October, and November offer the best VFR flying conditions, with minimal instances of low visibility or instrument meteorological conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways with different orientations: 01/19, 07/25, and 10/28, providing multiple approach options. All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with relatively low average crosswind components between 5.5 and 6.3 knots. The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential maritime influence on local weather patterns.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect consistent wind conditions from the southeast, which align favorably with all runway configurations. The runways offer excellent wind alignment, minimizing crosswind challenges during approach and landing. With an average visibility of 10 statute miles and only 2.6% fog occurrence, visual approaches are typically viable, though pilots should always verify current METAR and TAF information before flight.
