The runway has a huge upslope east to west. The west end of the runway is full of antennas with supporting wires reaching all the way to the runway edge. On the aproach end it is full of windmills so a continuous turn from base to the treshold has to be made.
Public non-certified airfield located on the top of the 'Serra da Lousã' (Lousã mountain range). It is the highest airfield in the whole country, sitting at a respectable 1190m (3,900 ft).
Not used much by private pilots, the airfield sees use essentially as an aerial firefighting base in the summer months. Has a paved runway in fairly good condition.
