About Alberto Carnevalli Airport
Overview
Alberto Carnevalli Airport serves the city of Mérida, located in the Andes region of Venezuela. Situated at a high elevation of 5007 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local mountain region. The airport is positioned at 8.582078, -71.161041, offering strategic access to the surrounding mountainous terrain.
Flying Conditions
The high-altitude location at 5007 ft MSL significantly impacts aircraft performance and requires careful flight planning. Pilots should anticipate reduced engine and aerodynamic performance due to the elevation, which will affect takeoff and landing distances. The asphalt runway (06/24) measures 5348 ft in length, which provides adequate runway distance but demands precise energy management at this altitude.
Notable Features
The airport is situated in a complex Andean mountain landscape, which introduces potential challenges with terrain and wind variations. Surrounding topography can create localized wind shear and turbulence, particularly during seasonal weather transitions. Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather changes characteristic of mountain airport environments.
Approach Considerations
Runway 06/24 is the primary operational runway, with orientation that suggests potential wind alignment along the 060/240 degree axis. The 5348 ft asphalt runway requires careful speed and energy management, especially considering the high-altitude environment. Standard mountain airport approach protocols should be followed, with heightened awareness of terrain and potential wind conditions.
