About Carriel Sur Airport
Overview
Carriel Sur Airport serves Concepcion, Chile as a medium-sized airport situated near the Pacific coast at 26 feet above mean sea level. The airport provides critical regional aviation infrastructure with two asphalt runways capable of handling diverse aircraft operations. Its strategic location in central Chile makes it an important transportation hub for the Biobío Region.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 72.2% of observed weather patterns supporting clear flying. The airport experiences consistent southwestern winds averaging 8.4 knots, with temperatures ranging from 4°C to 27°C and an average of 15°C. October through December offer the most stable VFR conditions, presenting optimal flying opportunities for pilots.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 02/20 at 8,530 feet and 02R/20L at 6,470 feet, both constructed with asphalt surfaces. Both runways demonstrate identical wind characteristics, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 3.3 knots. The low elevation of 26 feet MSL and coastal coordinates suggest minimal terrain challenges for approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Given the consistent southwestern prevailing winds at 225 degrees, pilots can anticipate predictable wind conditions for both runways. The airport's high visibility average of 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (1.5%) supports reliable visual approaches. Both runways offer reliable landing surfaces with low crosswind interference, providing flexibility in operational planning.
