About San Luis Airport
Overview
San Luis Airport (SKIP) serves the Ipiales region in Colombia at a high elevation of 9,765 feet MSL. Located near the Colombian-Ecuadorian border, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure in a mountainous area. The airport features two asphalt runways capable of handling various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather at San Luis Airport predominantly supports visual flight rules (VFR), with 62.8% of observations in VFR conditions and an additional 30% in marginal VFR. Temperature remains moderate, averaging 11.2°C with a range from 1°C to 20°C. Prevailing easterly winds at an average of 5.7 knots create generally stable atmospheric conditions, with minimal instances of severe weather.
Notable Features
The airport's significant elevation at 9,765 feet MSL presents unique challenges for aircraft performance and pilot considerations. Both runways (06/24 and 08/26) offer substantial lengths of 5,774 and 8,202 feet respectively, accommodating a range of aircraft. Minimal fog occurrence (7.7% of observations) and consistently favorable wind alignments contribute to reliable operational conditions.
Approach Considerations
Winds consistently favor both runways, with 100% favorable wind alignment for Runway 06/24 and Runway 08/26. Average crosswind components remain low at 3 knots and 2.2 knots respectively. December, October, and November represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal approach and departure conditions for pilots operating at this high-altitude airport.
