About General Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport

Overview

General Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport serves Chihuahua, Mexico as a medium-sized airport located at 4,462 feet above mean sea level. The airport features three asphalt runways, providing significant operational flexibility for aircraft serving the Chihuahua region. Its strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure support both commercial and potentially military aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences exceptionally consistent visual flight conditions, with 99.1% of observations recording VFR weather. Winds predominantly originate from the east at an average of 6.8 knots, with occasional maximum gusts up to 56 knots. Temperature ranges from -4°C to 35°C, with an average of 19.3°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions for flight operations.

Notable Features

Located at a significant elevation of 4,462 feet MSL, the airport presents considerations for aircraft performance and density altitude effects. The three runways (05/23, 18L/36R, and 18R/36L) range from 3,609 to 8,530 feet in length, offering diverse operational capabilities. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components between 3.7 and 4.1 knots.

Approach Considerations

November, December, and October represent the best months for visual flight conditions at this airport. Pilots can expect consistent wind patterns from the east, which align favorably with all three runways. The exceptionally low occurrence of reduced visibility (only 0.1% fog reports) and zero IFR conditions suggest generally straightforward approach and landing environments.
