About Barinas Airport

Overview

Barinas Airport serves the Barinas region in western Venezuela, located at coordinates 8.615000, -70.214167. As a medium airport situated at 615 ft mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and local aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport consistently experiences Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 100% of observations indicating clear weather. Temperature and wind data suggest stable atmospheric conditions, though specific variability is not clearly defined in the provided statistics. Pilots can expect excellent visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles observed.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalted runways: a shorter 3,940 ft runway (03/21) and a longer 6,560 ft runway (13/31). Its elevation of 615 ft MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude location in the Venezuelan landscape, which may influence aircraft performance parameters. The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility for different wind and traffic scenarios.

Approach Considerations

With two runways available, pilots have multiple approach options depending on aircraft type and current conditions. The longer 13/31 runway provides additional runway length for larger aircraft or those with higher performance requirements. While wind data is limited, pilots should conduct standard pre-flight wind assessments to determine the most appropriate runway for landing and takeoff.
