About Los Chiles Airport

Overview

Los Chiles Airport serves the northern region of Costa Rica near the Nicaraguan border, situated in the Los Chiles administrative district. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 131 feet mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's relatively low elevation suggests a tropical climate with potential for high humidity and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and localized weather patterns typical of Central American coastal and inland transitional zones.

Notable Features

The single runway (06/24) is 4,265 feet long with an asphalt surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic coordinates at 11.035300, -84.706100 indicate a location in a potentially challenging terrain environment with proximity to Nicaragua.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24 suggests potential wind variations that could influence approach and departure strategies. Pilots should carefully assess current meteorological conditions and prepare for potential crosswind scenarios given the runway's orientation and regional topographical characteristics.
