About San Fernando Airport
Overview
San Fernando Airport is a medium-sized airport located in San Fernando, Argentina, serving the greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area. Situated at a low elevation of 10 feet mean sea level, the airport plays a regional transportation role for commercial and general aviation operations. Its geographical coordinates place it at -34.453200 latitude and -58.589600 longitude.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation and proximity to the Buenos Aires region suggests a maritime climate with potential for variable wind conditions. Given its single runway orientation of 5/23, pilots should anticipate potential crosswind challenges, particularly during seasonal transition periods. The 5909-foot asphalted runway provides substantial landing and takeoff surface for most medium-sized aircraft.
Notable Features
San Fernando Airport's runway configuration allows operations in two primary directions (05 and 23 headings), providing flexibility for different wind conditions. The airport's low elevation minimizes significant terrain-related considerations for approach and departure procedures. Its location near Buenos Aires suggests potential for complex airspace interactions with other regional airports.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05 and 23 both measure 5909 feet in length, offering symmetrical operational capabilities. Pilots should carefully assess current wind conditions to determine the most appropriate runway for landing, considering potential crosswind components. Standard approach procedures will be influenced by the airport's low elevation and surrounding metropolitan terrain.
