About Tucuruí Airport

Overview

Tucuruí Airport serves the municipal region of Tucuruí in the state of Pará, Brazil, located in the northern Amazon basin. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 830 feet above mean sea level, the airport supports regional transportation and likely serves industrial and local commercial aviation needs in this remote Amazon infrastructure corridor.

Flying Conditions

The airport's location near the equator suggests consistent tropical weather patterns with potentially high humidity and frequent precipitation. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and rapid weather changes typical of Amazonian climate zones, with visibility and wind conditions that can shift quickly throughout the day.

Notable Features

Positioned at coordinates -3.786010, -49.720299, Tucuruí Airport is situated in a dense Amazon terrain with significant vegetation and potential challenging surrounding landscape. The single runway (2/20) measures 6,562 feet in length, constructed of concrete and asphalt, providing adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations in this regional setting.

Approach Considerations

The runway orientation of 2/20 suggests potential crosswind considerations depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. Pilots should perform standard terrain and approach assessments, maintaining heightened situational awareness given the airport's geographic location in a complex Amazon environment with potential meteorological variability.
