About Comodoro D.R. Salomón Airport
Overview
Comodoro D.R. Salomón Airport serves the Malargüe region in Argentina, positioned at a high elevation of 4685 ft MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for this mountainous area of western Argentina, supporting regional transportation needs in Mendoza Province.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high-altitude location at 4685 ft MSL presents significant performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during warmer months when density altitude can substantially increase. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced aircraft performance due to the elevation, with careful attention to weight, temperature, and runway length factors.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary 14/32 runway measuring 8694 feet, and a secondary 9/27 runway of 4757 feet. Its geographical coordinates at -35.493599, -69.574303 place it in a mountainous region, suggesting potential terrain-induced wind variations and complex local meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
With two runways of significantly different lengths, pilots have operational flexibility based on wind conditions. The longer 14/32 runway provides substantial landing and takeoff options, while the shorter 9/27 runway can serve as an alternative, particularly important given the airport's elevated terrain and potential wind challenges.
