About Gualeguaychu Airport

Overview

Gualeguaychu Airport serves the city of Gualeguaychu in Entre Rios Province, Argentina. Located at coordinates -33.005567, -58.612833, this medium-sized airport sits at an elevation of 75 feet above mean sea level. The airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the regional transportation needs of the area.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a relatively low elevation of 75 ft MSL, Gualeguaychu Airport experiences typical Argentine subtropical climate conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential variability in local weather patterns, with potential impacts on visibility and wind conditions. The airport's geographic location suggests potential for seasonal weather fluctuations that could affect flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: a 4,364-foot asphalted runway (1/19) and another runway (03/21) with unspecified length and surface type. Its moderate elevation and geographical position in Entre Rios Province indicate a relatively flat terrain surrounding the airport infrastructure. The airport's characteristics suggest it supports regional and potentially smaller commercial aviation operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 1/19, measuring 4,364 feet in length and surfaced with asphalt, appears to be the primary operational runway. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning, considering the runway length and local terrain when preparing approach and departure strategies. Standard visual and instrument approach considerations should be applied based on prevailing local conditions.
