Weather Briefing
VFREl Bolsón Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 20,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 5 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,500 ft, scattered at 20,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -5°C (23°F) with a dewpoint of -8°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Snow, Heavy Snow. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Snow between 16:00Z and 22:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About El Bolsón Airfield
Overview
El Bolsón Airfield (SAVB) is a medium-sized airport located in the Río Negro Province of Argentina, situated near the town of El Bolsón. The airport serves the local region at an elevation of 1,141 feet above mean sea level, providing critical aviation infrastructure in this Patagonian mountain area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation and geographical position suggest variable weather conditions typical of Patagonian mountain regions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and temperature fluctuations that can impact aircraft performance, especially given the airport's mountainous surrounding terrain.
Notable Features
El Bolsón Airfield features a single runway (18/36) with an asphalted surface measuring 4,265 feet in length. The airport's coordinates at -41.943199, -71.532303 place it in a challenging mountainous environment that requires careful navigation and terrain awareness during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
The runway orientation of 18/36 suggests potential crosswind scenarios, with pilots needing to be prepared for wind shifts during landing and takeoff. The moderate runway length of 4,265 feet requires standard performance calculations, particularly for aircraft operating at the airport's 1,141-foot elevation.
