About Comandante Espora Airport
Overview
Comandante Espora Airport serves the city of Bahía Blanca in Argentina, functioning as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 246 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates -38.725000, -62.169300, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the southwestern region of Buenos Aires Province.
Flying Conditions
Situated in a coastal region, the airport experiences variable wind conditions typical of maritime environments. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and turbulence, particularly during seasonal transitions, with the three asphalt runways offering multiple landing options to accommodate changing meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways: a primary 8,579-foot runway (16L/34R), a secondary 4,915-foot runway (16R/34L), and a 6,660-foot crosswind runway (6/24). These multiple runway configurations provide operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind scenarios, enhancing the airport's adaptability for various aviation needs.
Approach Considerations
Approach strategies should consider the airport's multiple runway orientations, with particular attention to the prevailing wind direction. The longest runway (16L/34R) offers the most extensive landing surface, which may be preferable for larger aircraft or during challenging meteorological conditions.
