Antonio/Nery/Juarbe Pol is in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The field elevation is 20.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 08/26, which is 3,963 ft long with asphalt pavement. The airport is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits close to sea level, so density altitude is usually less of a factor than on higher fields. Still, coastal weather and local winds can change the picture fast. Check the current Chart Supplement and the airport operator if you need the latest operational details.

Published remarks say clearance delivery is handled through San Juan CERAP by phone. A landing fee is required for all aircraft except major holidays. Military helicopter operations occur after sunset. Skydiving activity also occurs here. The runway pavement classification rating for 08/26 is 27/F/C/X/T. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current fuel and service availability before you go.
