Weather Briefing
VFRTeniente Vidal Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 28 knots with gusts to 38 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 28-knot crosswind component (gusting to 37 knots crosswind). These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 0°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Winds are forecast to reach up to 25 knots during the period. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 15:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations.

About Teniente Vidal Airport
Overview
Teniente Vidal Airport serves the Coyhaique region in Chile, located at 45.5942° South latitude and 72.1061° West longitude. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 1,020 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Aysén Region, supporting regional transportation and connectivity in this challenging southern Chilean landscape.
Flying Conditions
The airport's mid-latitude location suggests variable weather conditions typical of Patagonian regions, with potential for rapid meteorological changes. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the airport's elevated terrain and proximity to complex geographical features, which can create dynamic atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (03/21) measuring 5,072 feet long with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical position in a mountainous region means pilots must be prepared for terrain-influenced wind patterns and potential visibility challenges associated with regional topography.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. Given the airport's elevation and surrounding terrain, standard instrument approach procedures and careful terrain awareness are critical for safe operations at Teniente Vidal Airport.
