About General E. Mosconi Airport

Overview

General E. Mosconi Airport serves Comodoro Rivadavia, a significant urban center in Argentina's Chubut Province. Located at coordinates -45.785300, -67.465500, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potentially industrial/resource sector operations in Patagonia.

Flying Conditions

Situated at 189 feet above mean sea level, the airport experiences typical Patagonian weather characterized by variable wind conditions. The airport's elevation and geographic position suggest potential for wind shear and rapid meteorological changes, which pilots should carefully monitor during approach and departure.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial concrete runway (7/25) measuring 9,219 feet in length, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. Its considerable runway length provides flexibility for various operational requirements, including potential use by regional commercial and potential cargo/resource extraction aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 7/25's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges typical of Patagonian terrain. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and be prepared for potential wind correction techniques during approach, particularly given the airport's geographic location in a region known for dynamic atmospheric conditions.
