About Caballococha Airport

Overview

Caballococha Airport (SPBC) serves the remote Peruvian Amazon region, situated in the northeastern part of the country near the town of Caballococha. Located at coordinates -3.916860, -70.508202, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the isolated communities in Loreto Department. The airport supports regional connectivity in an area with limited ground transportation options.

Flying Conditions

The airport sits at an elevation of 328 feet above mean sea level, which is typical for the Amazon basin terrain. Pilots can expect high humidity and potential rapid weather changes characteristic of tropical environments. Seasonal variations include periods of increased precipitation that may impact visibility and surface conditions.

Notable Features

The single runway 12/30 is 5,905 feet long with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic location in the Amazon basin means surrounding terrain is predominantly flat with dense vegetation. The airport's positioning provides access to a remote region with minimal alternative transportation infrastructure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 12/30 provides a standard approach configuration aligned with the local geographic orientation. Given the airport's tropical location, pilots should anticipate potential rapid weather shifts and prepare for potential reduced visibility conditions. Standard pre-flight weather assessment is critical due to the region's dynamic atmospheric characteristics.
