Its single runway 1/19 provides a substantial 7,546-foot asphalt surface for aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Located in the southern hemisphere, Santa Rosa Airport experiences seasonal weather variations typical of Argentine plains. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts given the airport's inland geographical position. The 630-foot elevation suggests moderate terrain complexity that should not pose significant challenges for most aircraft operations.

Notable Features

The 7,546-foot runway length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types, from regional commuters to medium-sized commercial and cargo aircraft. Its asphalt surface provides reliable ground handling characteristics across various weather conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 1/19's substantial length allows flexible approach options for different aircraft categories. Pilots should consider prevailing wind directions when selecting runway ends, with north and south approaches equally viable based on current meteorological conditions. Standard approach procedures should be reviewed in conjunction with current local airport information and NOTAMs.
