Weather Briefing
VFRTeniente Vidal Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 17,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 26 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 26-knot crosswind component. These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 17000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 0°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Winds are forecast to reach up to 35 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 20 to 35 knots. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 16:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

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.
