About Antonio Rivera Rodriguez Airport

Overview

Antonio Rivera Rodriguez Airport serves Vieques, a small island municipality of Puerto Rico located east of the main island. Positioned at coordinates 18.134800, -65.493599, this medium airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the local community and regional connectivity.

Flying Conditions

Being situated in the Caribbean, the airport experiences tropical maritime weather conditions with potential for high humidity and periodic thunderstorm activity. The airport's low elevation of 49 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain interference and generally stable approach conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (09/27) measuring 4,301 feet in length, suitable for smaller commercial and general aviation aircraft. Its geographic position on Vieques island means pilots should anticipate potential marine wind influences and be prepared for variable wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's orientation suggests that prevailing winds will likely determine preferred landing direction. Pilots should conduct standard wind assessment before approach, being mindful of the runway's moderate length and asphalt surface characteristics when planning landing performance.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data.
