About Maria Reiche Neuman Airport
Overview
Maria Reiche Neuman Airport serves the Nazca region in Peru, positioned at an elevation of 1860 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates -14.854000, -74.961502, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Nazca area. The airport features a single runway (07/25) with an asphalted surface measuring 3355 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
Situated at a moderate elevation of 1860 ft MSL, the airport experiences regional high-altitude flying conditions typical of the Peruvian coastal mountain region. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude variations that can impact aircraft performance, especially during warmer daytime hours. The airport's geographic position suggests potential wind channeling effects from surrounding terrain.
Notable Features
The airport is positioned near the famous Nazca Lines, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its extensive geoglyphs. The surrounding terrain is characterized by arid desert landscape, which can create unique visual navigation challenges. Pilots should be prepared for potential visibility restrictions and thermal activity common to desert environments.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25 provides the primary approach path with its 3355-foot asphalted surface. Given the airport's elevation and regional topography, standard high-altitude approach techniques are recommended. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning considering the airport's moderate elevation and potential environmental conditions specific to the Nazca region.
