About El Tepual Airport
Overview
El Tepual Airport serves Puerto Montt, Chile, functioning as a critical medium-sized regional airport in southern Chile. Located at coordinates -41.438900, -73.094002 with an elevation of 294 ft MSL, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Los Lagos Region. Its single runway (17/35) extends 8,694 feet and supports commercial and general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at El Tepual demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 67.9% of observed periods. The airport experiences prevailing northerly winds averaging 7.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 40 knots. Temperature ranges from 1°C to 34°C, with an average of 12.7°C, creating diverse meteorological environments for pilots.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic positioning in southern Chile suggests proximity to complex terrain, likely including mountainous and coastal landscapes. Runway 17/35 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with wind conditions supporting operations 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 3.6 knots. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
Seasonal flight planning should prioritize September through November, which represent the most consistent VFR months. Pilots can expect generally stable approach conditions with low occurrence of instrument meteorological conditions (IFR/LIFR accounting for only 13.2% of observations). The substantial runway length of 8,694 feet provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types.
