About Vila Real Airport

Overview

Vila Real Airport serves the northern region of Portugal, situated in the Vila Real district at an elevation of 1,805 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting regional transportation and potentially serving business and general aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevated position at 1,805 ft MSL suggests potential for variable meteorological conditions, with significant altitude-related atmospheric considerations. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during summer months when altitude effects are most pronounced.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (02/20) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,107 feet in length. Its geographic coordinates (41.274300, -7.720470) place it in a mountainous region of northern Portugal, which likely introduces complex terrain-related wind and approach dynamics for aviators.

Approach Considerations

The single runway's orientation of 02/20 suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and be prepared for potential wind shear or turbulence related to the surrounding mountainous terrain when planning approaches to Vila Real Airport.
