Benjamin Rivera Noriega Airport sits on Isla de Culebra, Puerto Rico. Field elevation is 42.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13/31, which is 2,596 ft long. The airport is uncontrolled. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published in the source data. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is unattended from sunset to sunrise. Night operations are not allowed. Published remarks also call for VFR weather only. Runway 13 is the preferred landing runway except in adverse weather. The published arrival note for runway 13 calls for an approach from the northwest through Bahia Flamenco, then through Laguna del Flamenco, with a left turn to final. That means a tight visual setup with low-altitude maneuvering. Expect turbulence on final.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need fuel or ramp details. The runway and taxiway pavement has cracking and loose stones. Birds are on and near the runway. A 600 ft AGL antenna sits about half a mile east of the airport. Rapidly rising terrain is northwest of the field. Aircraft departing northbound should also watch for traffic descending on final for Charlotte Amalie St Thomas, Cyril E King.
