About Capitan D Daniel Vazquez Airport
Overview
Capitan D Daniel Vazquez Airport serves the San Julian region in Argentina, situated at 49.3°S latitude and 67.8°W longitude. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 203 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the southern Patagonian area, supporting regional transportation and potential military/civilian operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location in southern Argentina suggests challenging maritime weather conditions typical of Patagonia, with potential for strong winds and rapid meteorological changes. Given its low elevation and coastal proximity, pilots should anticipate variable wind conditions, particularly along the 07/25 runway orientation.
Notable Features
The single runway at Capitan D Daniel Vazquez Airport measures 6,562 feet in length and is constructed of concrete (CON), providing substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographical position near the coast implies potential for turbulence and significant wind gradient effects during approach and departure phases.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25 offers a substantial 6,562-foot surface, allowing flexible approach options based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and strength, potentially necessitating crosswind landing techniques given the airport's exposed coastal location and potential for sudden meteorological shifts.
