Flying Conditions

The airport features three runways with varying surface types and lengths, providing flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. Runway surfaces include green earth (GRE) for two runways and asphalt (ASP) for the longest runway, with lengths ranging from 2,621 feet to 4,921 feet, which can accommodate a variety of general aviation and regional aircraft.

Notable Features

Situated near the Atlantic coast, Necochea Airport's geographic location may present unique meteorological challenges typical of maritime environments. The airport's multiple runway configurations (13/31, 17/35, and 18/36) offer pilots options for takeoff and landing depending on wind direction and aircraft performance requirements.

Approach Considerations
