About Zapopan Air Force Base

Zapopan Air Force Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the MX AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Zapopan Air Force Base (MMZP) is located in Zapopan, MX at an elevation of 5,333 feet MSL, making density altitude a consideration for performance planning. The airport has 2 runways (08L/26R, 08R/26L), with the longest at 8,860 feet.

Airport Overview

Zapopan Air Force Base serves Zapopan in MX. As a smaller airfield, services may be limited. Pilots should verify fuel availability and operating hours before arrival. The airport features 2 runways (08L/26R, 08R/26L) with asp surface. The longest runway measures 8,860 feet, suitable for large aircraft operations.

Elevation Considerations

At 5333 feet MSL, density altitude is an important consideration for flight planning, particularly during summer months. Performance calculations should account for the reduced air density at this elevation.

Flight Planning

For current NOTAMs and operational information, consult the local aviation authority publications. Weather data including METAR and TAF reports are typically available from nearby reporting stations if not directly from this airport. Before flight, verify current conditions through official channels and check Jeppesen or national AIP for the latest aeronautical information.

Weather Information

When METAR observations are not available directly from MMZP, pilots can reference weather from nearby airports shown above. Consider distance and terrain differences when using alternate weather sources. For official flight planning, always use approved weather briefing services.
