About Monte Real Air Base
Monte Real Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the PT AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Monte Real Air Base (LPMR) is a medium-sized airport located in Portugal, situated at an elevation of 187 feet above mean sea level. The airport features a single runway (36/18) with a substantial length of 9,816 feet, capable of supporting a variety of military and potential civilian aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Monte Real demonstrate predominantly favorable VFR flying opportunities, with 66.6% of observations indicating visual flight rules. The airport experiences a moderate wind environment, with prevailing southerly winds (180°) averaging 6.9 knots and occasional gusts up to 24 knots. Temperature ranges from 0°C to 28°C, with an average of 13.8°C, supporting relatively stable flying conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's runway 36/18 demonstrates exceptional wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Crosswinds are minimal, averaging just 3.2 knots, which contributes to reliable approach and landing capabilities. Visibility is consistently good, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during November, September, and December. The runway's orientation and length provide flexibility for various aircraft types, with low fog occurrence (4.2%) and consistent visibility. Approaches should consider the prevailing southerly winds and the airport's moderate elevation when planning landing and takeoff procedures.
