About Barriles Airport
Overview
Barriles Airport serves the Tocopilla region in Chile, situated at an elevation of 3475 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates -22.141100, -70.062897, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure in a coastal desert environment of northern Chile.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 3475 ft MSL suggests potential density altitude challenges, particularly during warmer periods. The coastal location near the Pacific suggests potential wind variability and marine layer influences that pilots should anticipate during approach and departure.
Notable Features
The single runway 14/31 is 5380 feet long with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's geographical position in the Atacama Desert region means pilots should be prepared for potentially arid and clear atmospheric conditions with minimal precipitation.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/31 offers a straightforward approach with its substantial 5380-foot length, providing adequate landing and takeoff distance for most medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and elevation effects when planning approaches, particularly during temperature extremes typical of desert environments.
