About Coronel Felipe Varela International Airport
Overview
Coronel Felipe Varela International Airport serves the Catamarca region in Argentina, positioned at 1522 feet above mean sea level. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the local area, supporting regional and potentially some international air traffic. Its medium-sized classification indicates capacity for handling commercial and potentially some cargo operations.
Flying Conditions
Located at 28.6 degrees south latitude, the airport experiences typical South American subtropical highland weather patterns with potential significant seasonal variations. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and thermal activity given the airport's elevation and geographic location. Temperature and pressure fluctuations can be notable at this mid-elevation airport.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (02/20) with an impressive 9186-foot asphalt surface, providing substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Its geographic coordinates (-28.593117, -65.751200) indicate placement in a region with potential complex terrain considerations, likely surrounded by mountainous or elevated landscape typical of the Catamarca province.
Approach Considerations
Runway 02/20's substantial length allows for diverse aircraft approaches and accommodates potential challenging wind conditions. Given the runway's orientation, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios and review current meteorological data prior to approach. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended for safe navigation into this airport.
