About Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport
Overview
Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport serves Medellín, Colombia as a medium-sized airport situated at 4,949 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 6.219686, -75.590597, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Antioquia region's transportation needs. Its single runway 02/20 extends 8,202 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 92% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Average temperatures range from 14°C to 31°C, with a mean of 22.9°C, creating generally stable flying conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the north (0°), averaging 5.2 knots with maximum gusts of 13 knots, and calm periods occurring 7.5% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's elevation of 4,949 feet MSL presents considerations for aircraft performance and density altitude calculations. Situated in a mountainous region, pilots should anticipate potential terrain-related challenges during approach and departure. The airport's high-altitude location can significantly impact aircraft operational parameters.
Approach Considerations
Runway 02/20 demonstrates highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 1.7 knots. Pilots will find optimal visual flying conditions during September, November, and December, with consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The rare occurrence of low visibility (below 3 miles) and minimal fog presence further enhance operational reliability.
