About Aeropuerto Internacional Silvio Pettirossi
Overview
Aeropuerto Internacional Silvio Pettirossi serves as the primary international airport for Asunción, Paraguay, located at coordinates -25.240156, -57.519227. The airport sits at an elevation of 292 feet mean sea level and represents a crucial transportation hub for the region. Its single runway 02/20 extends an impressive 10,997 feet, accommodating large commercial and international aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Asunción's airport experiences subtropical climate conditions typical of Paraguay's central region, which can produce variable weather patterns throughout the year. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and potential convective activity, especially during summer months. The airport's relatively low elevation of 292 feet MSL provides generally stable atmospheric conditions for approach and landing.
Notable Features
The airport's runway 02/20 is constructed with asphalt, providing a robust surface for heavy aircraft operations. Its substantial 10,997-foot length allows for versatile aircraft handling, supporting wide-body international carriers and regional traffic. The geographic location near Asunción offers pilots a strategically positioned gateway for South American operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 02/20's extensive length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Pilots should review current wind conditions, as the single runway's orientation might require careful wind assessment during landing. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable, with attention to the surrounding terrain and local atmospheric conditions.
