About Villa Dolores Airport

Overview

Villa Dolores Airport serves the Córdoba Province in west-central Argentina, providing critical regional aviation infrastructure. Located at coordinates -31.945200, -65.146301, the airport supports medium-level aviation operations with two distinct runways supporting different aircraft capabilities.

Flying Conditions

Situated at an elevation of 1847 feet mean sea level, Villa Dolores Airport experiences typical inland Argentine plateau weather conditions with potential thermal variations. Pilots should anticipate potential elevation-related performance considerations, particularly during warmer seasonal periods which can impact aircraft lift and engine performance.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways with different surface compositions: runway 02/20 is gravel (GRE) with a length of 3,122 feet, while runway 17/35 is asphalt (ASP) and measures 4,593 feet. These runway characteristics provide operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions, allowing pilots multiple approach and departure options.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35's longer asphalt surface provides preferred operational capability for most aircraft, particularly during challenging wind conditions. Pilots should carefully evaluate surface conditions on the gravel runway 02/20, considering potential reduced braking effectiveness and increased debris risk compared to the primary asphalt runway.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
