About Francisco Carle Airport
Overview
Francisco Carle Airport serves Jauja, Peru at a high elevation of 11,034 feet MSL. Located in the central Peruvian highlands, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region. Its single runway 13/31 extends 9,220 feet and is constructed with asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Francisco Carle are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 97.7% of observations supporting VFR operations. Temperatures range from 2°C to 28°C, with an average of 14.1°C, creating relatively stable atmospheric conditions. Wind patterns are consistent, with northerly prevailing winds averaging 5.8 knots and occasional gusts up to 25 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's exceptionally high elevation at 11,034 feet presents significant performance considerations for aircraft operations. Pilots must account for reduced air density and its impacts on aircraft climb performance and engine efficiency. The surrounding terrain likely consists of Andean highland topography, which can generate complex local wind and thermal patterns.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31 offers favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 3.3 knots. September, November, and December represent the best months for VFR flying, with consistently favorable weather patterns. Pilots should anticipate high-altitude approach challenges and prepare aircraft performance calculations accordingly.
