About Rincon De Los Sauces Airport

Overview

Rincon De Los Sauces Airport serves the Neuquén Province in Argentina, situated at an elevation of 1,968 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates -37.390598, -68.904198, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local region, supporting regional transportation and economic connectivity.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 1,968 feet MSL suggests potential variations in density altitude that pilots must consider during different seasonal temperatures. Being located in a semi-arid region of Argentina, pilots can expect potentially challenging wind conditions and significant temperature fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) with an asphaltic surface measuring 4,921 feet in length. Its geographical positioning in the Neuquén Province indicates a terrain environment that likely includes plains and potential wind corridors, which pilots should anticipate during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

Given the runway's 10/28 orientation, pilots should prepare for potential crosswind scenarios and evaluate wind conditions carefully before landing. The 4,921-foot runway provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft, but precise performance calculations remain critical based on specific aircraft characteristics and ambient conditions.
