About General Pico Airport
Overview
General Pico Airport serves the La Pampa Province in central Argentina, located in the city of General Pico. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 459 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region. The airport's coordinates at -35.696201, -63.758301 position it in a strategic location for regional transportation and potential agricultural support operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport features two distinct runways with different surface compositions: runway 03/21 is grass (GRE) and 2,789 feet long, while runway 16/34 is asphalt (ASP) and significantly longer at 7,710 feet. Pilots should anticipate varying surface conditions between these runways, with the asphalt runway offering more consistent landing characteristics. The moderate elevation and central Argentine location suggest potential for variable wind conditions typical of the region's plains.
Notable Features
General Pico Airport's dual-runway configuration provides operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. The substantial difference in runway lengths allows for accommodating both smaller regional aircraft on the shorter grass runway and larger aircraft on the extended asphalt runway. The airport's location in the flat terrain of La Pampa Province means minimal terrain-related approach challenges.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing wind direction, with the 16/34 asphalt runway offering the most substantial landing surface. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and runway length relative to their specific aircraft performance characteristics. The airport's moderate elevation of 459 feet MSL should not present significant altitude-related operational constraints for most aircraft.
