About Juan Mendoza Airport
Overview
Juan Mendoza Airport serves Oruro, Bolivia at a high elevation of 12,152 feet MSL. The airport features two runways: a gravel runway 09/27 and an asphalt runway 18/36, providing operational flexibility for regional and local aviation needs. Its location at significant altitude requires careful flight planning and performance considerations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Juan Mendoza Airport are predominantly VFR, with 92.8% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Wind patterns are typically from the north at an average of 7.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 22 knots. Temperature ranges from -4°C to 24°C, with an average of 14.2°C, and consistent visibility around 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation of 12,152 feet presents significant density altitude challenges for aircraft performance. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and modest average crosswind components of 4.9 knots for runway 09/27 and 4.1 knots for runway 18/36. Pilots must carefully calculate takeoff and landing performance at this high-altitude airport.
Approach Considerations
Seasonal weather is most favorable for VFR operations during September, October, and December. Both runways offer consistent wind conditions, allowing flexible approach and departure options. With minimal reported low visibility events (0.1% fog, 0% below 3SM), pilots can generally expect reliable visual conditions at Juan Mendoza Airport.
