DR Hermenegildo Ortiz Quinones is in Humacao, Puerto Rico. The field elevation is 34.8 ft MSL. It has one runway, 10/28, which is 2,457 ft long and paved. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is a VFR-only field. That matters here because the airport sits in a busy local operating environment with skydiving and ultralight activity. Bird activity is also reported on and near the airport. Loose stones and gravel are present on the runway and taxiway, so a careful taxi and runup makes sense.

Two-way radio communication is required for all aircraft and vehicles except by prior request. The airport phone number is 787-852-8188. For clearance delivery, contact San Juan CERAP at 787-253-8664 or 787-253-8665. Rising terrain is in the vicinity of the airport. Cattle have been reported 500 ft from the threshold of runway 28. They can occasionally be on the runway, so plan your arrival and rollout with that in mind.
