About Major Brigadeiro Trompowsky Airport

Overview

Major Brigadeiro Trompowsky Airport serves the city of Varginha in Brazil, situated at an elevation of 3,025 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, supporting various aircraft operations in southeastern Brazil. The airport is positioned at coordinates -21.591375, -45.474116, offering strategic connectivity for the local and regional transportation network.

Flying Conditions

Located at a significant elevation of 3,025 feet, pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations related to density altitude, particularly during warmer periods. The airport's geographic location suggests potential for varied meteorological conditions typical of southeastern Brazilian terrain. Pilots should prepare for potential altitude-related aircraft performance impacts and conduct appropriate preflight calculations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (04/22) with a substantial length of 6,890 feet constructed with asphalt surface. Its moderate elevation and runway length accommodate a range of aircraft sizes, providing operational flexibility for different aviation needs. The terrain surrounding the airport likely presents typical Brazilian plateau characteristics, which pilots should evaluate during approach and departure planning.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22 offers a significant 6,890-foot asphalt surface, providing ample landing and takeoff opportunities for various aircraft types. Pilots should conduct standard wind assessment and runway selection procedures, considering potential crosswind components given the single runway orientation. Standard instrument approach and departure protocols consistent with Brazilian aviation regulations should be followed.
