About Antonio Nery Juarbe Pol Airport

Overview

Antonio Nery Juarbe Pol Airport serves the Arecibo region of Puerto Rico as a medium-sized airport. Located at 18.450850, -66.675768, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northern coastal area of the island. Its strategic position supports regional transportation and local aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

Being situated at 23 feet mean sea level, the airport experiences typical Caribbean maritime weather conditions with potential tropical and maritime influences. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and coastal wind patterns that can impact flight operations. The airport's lower elevation suggests minimal terrain-related weather complexity.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (08/26) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,975 feet in length. Its coastal location near Arecibo suggests potential maritime and terrain-related wind dynamics that could affect approach and departure procedures. The runway orientation indicates potential crosswind considerations during landing and takeoff.

Approach Considerations

Runway 08/26 provides primary approach and departure options with its 3,975-foot asphalt surface. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions given the runway's orientation and the airport's coastal environment. Standard approach considerations for a medium-sized airport in a maritime setting will apply, with particular attention to potential wind shear or thermal variations.
