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.
