About Umberto Modiano Airport

Overview

Umberto Modiano Airport serves the coastal city of Cabo Frio in Brazil, located at coordinates -22.770881, -41.963080. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 10 feet mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Being a coastal airport at low elevation, Umberto Modiano experiences maritime atmospheric conditions typical of Brazilian coastal environments. The single runway (7/25) measures 4,265 feet in length and is surfaced with asphalt, which can influence aircraft performance and landing considerations.

Notable Features

The airport's relatively low elevation of 10 feet MSL indicates a flat terrain environment near sea level. Its geographic position suggests potential for marine layer formations and wind conditions characteristic of coastal Brazilian regions, which pilots should anticipate during flight planning.

Approach Considerations

The 7/25 runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approaches. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway alignment when planning landings, considering the airport's coastal location and potential maritime wind patterns.
