About Forquilhinha - Criciúma Airport

Overview

Forquilhinha - Criciúma Airport serves the southern Brazilian region of Santa Catarina, located near the city of Criciúma. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 92 feet above mean sea level, it provides important regional aviation connectivity for the area. The airport's single runway (9/27) accommodates various aviation operations with its 4,882-foot asphalt surface.

Flying Conditions

The airport's location at 92 feet MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for variable coastal weather conditions typical of southern Brazil.

The 4,882-foot runway provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Surrounding terrain and regional topography may introduce specific local wind and approach considerations for pilots.

Approach Considerations

Runway 9/27's asphalt surface offers standard approach capabilities for regional aircraft. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during preflight planning, paying particular attention to potential coastal weather variations. Standard instrument approach procedures and local traffic patterns will apply for safe aircraft operations at this regional airport.
