About Cochrane Airport
Overview
Cochrane Airport serves the Cochrane region in Chile, situated at coordinates -47.243591, -72.588150. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 643 feet mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the southern Chilean area. The airport features a single asphalt runway (07/25) with a length of 3,346 feet.
Flying Conditions
Located in southern Chile, the airport experiences variable weather typical of Patagonian regions, with potential for rapid meteorological changes. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts given the airport's geographic positioning. The moderate elevation of 643 feet MSL provides relatively stable atmospheric conditions for flight operations.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (07/25) is oriented east-west, which may influence approach and departure procedures based on prevailing wind conditions. The asphalt surface suggests standard medium-airport infrastructure, capable of supporting regional aircraft operations. Surrounding terrain likely includes the characteristic Patagonian landscape of southern Chile.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25's 3,346-foot length accommodates most regional and medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should assess wind direction carefully when selecting runway orientation, as the east-west alignment means crosswind components could be significant. Standard instrument approach procedures would be appropriate for this airport's classification and geographic location.
