Cochrane Airport (ICAO: SCHR, IATA: LGR) is a small public airfield serving the town of Cochrane in Chile's remote Aysén Region, Patagonia. Set against mountainous terrain at the foot of Cerro Tamanguito, it offers a single lit hard-surface runway and no instrument approach, making it a field for careful VFR planning.
Cochrane Airport is a public aerodrome serving the small town of Cochrane in the Aysén Region of southern Chile. It lies in remote Patagonian terrain and is of interest to simulator pilots seeking a short, visually demanding strip surrounded by mountains, with no instrument approach to rely on.
The airfield sits just northwest of the town of Cochrane, at the foot of Cerro Tamanguito. The surrounding region is mountainous, with ravines running off either end of the runway and rising terrain beyond them, so pilots need to plan approach and departure paths with the local topography firmly in mind.
There is a single physical runway, 07/25, measuring 3,454 feet and surfaced in hard material (asphalt). Both directions are lit, but there is no ILS or other instrument approach available.
An information frequency of 126.7 MHz is published for the field, consistent with an INFO/AFIS-type service rather than full air traffic control. No navaids or instrument approach procedures are associated with the airfield.
Cerro Tamanguito, at the foot of which the airfield sits just northwest of the town of Cochrane, serves as the principal visual landmark for locating and approaching the field. The ravines flanking the runway ends, with rising ground beyond, are also useful references but require caution given the terrain.
Cochrane Airport operates as a public airfield with a single paved, lit runway and no instrument approach capability, reflecting its role as a modest regional airstrip serving a small Patagonian town rather than a major transport hub.
