About El Palomar Airport

Overview

El Palomar Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in the El Palomar region of Argentina, situated near Buenos Aires. The airport's geographical coordinates are -34.609900, -58.612600, with an elevation of 59 feet mean sea level (MSL), positioning it in a relatively low-altitude environment.

Flying Conditions

Being located at a low elevation of 59 ft MSL, El Palomar experiences generally stable atmospheric conditions typical of the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. Pilots should anticipate standard temperature and pressure variations consistent with the region's subtropical climate, which can influence aircraft performance, particularly during takeoff and landing on the 6,923-foot concrete runway.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (17/35) oriented north-south, which provides flexibility for aircraft operations based on wind conditions. Its concrete surface and substantial length of 6,923 feet accommodate a variety of medium-sized aircraft, supporting regional and potentially some commercial aviation operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35's orientation suggests potential advantages for managing crosswinds and providing consistent approach options. Pilots should conduct standard pre-flight planning to assess current wind vectors and their potential impact on landing and takeoff performance, taking into account the runway's dimensional characteristics and the airport's low-elevation environment.
