About Araraquara Airport

Overview

Araraquara Airport serves the city of Araraquara in São Paulo state, Brazil, functioning as a medium-sized regional aviation facility. Located at coordinates -21.812000, -48.132999, the airport operates at a significant elevation of 2334 feet above mean sea level, providing essential transportation infrastructure for the surrounding region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 2334 ft MSL suggests potential temperature and density altitude variations that pilots should consider during performance calculations. Being situated in São Paulo state, the airport likely experiences typical Brazilian inland climate conditions with potential thermal variations throughout the year that could impact aircraft operations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (17/35) measuring 5907 feet in length, which provides adequate operational capacity for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographical position in southeastern Brazil indicates a terrain context likely characterized by relatively moderate elevation changes and potential regional wind patterns.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing, with pilots needing to anticipate wind direction relative to the runway heading. The 5907-foot runway length provides sufficient distance for most medium-sized aircraft operations, requiring standard stabilized approach techniques consistent with the airport's elevation and runway characteristics.
