About El Tehuelche Airport

Overview

El Tehuelche Airport serves Puerto Madryn, located in Argentina's Chubut Province. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 427 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the coastal region. The airport's single runway 5/23 spans 8,202 feet with an asphalt surface, accommodating a range of aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's location at -42.759200 latitude and -65.102700 longitude suggests a maritime climate with potential for variable wind conditions typical of Patagonian coastal regions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and turbulence, particularly during seasonal transition periods. The airport's elevation and coastal positioning may create unique meteorological challenges for approaching and departing aircraft.

Notable Features

Puerto Madryn's geographical context includes proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, which can significantly influence local meteorological conditions. The airport's substantial 8,202-foot runway provides flexibility for medium-sized aircraft operations. Terrain surrounding the airport is likely characterized by the flat to gently rolling coastal landscape of Patagonian Argentina.

Approach Considerations

Runway 5/23's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and departure. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway alignment when planning operations. The long runway length provides additional operational margin for various aircraft types and potential challenging environmental conditions.
