About Windsor Airport

Overview

Windsor Airport serves the Windsor, Ontario region as a medium-sized airport located at 42.275600, -82.955597. The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary 9000ft runway (07/25) and a secondary 5150ft runway (12/30), providing flexible operational capabilities at an elevation of 622 feet MSL.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Windsor Airport are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 61.2% of observations indicating good visibility. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -19°C to 31°C, with an average temperature of 4.4°C. Pilots should anticipate westerly winds averaging 10.7 knots, with occasional gusts up to 38 knots and calm periods occurring 4.2% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport's dual runway configuration allows for optimal wind alignment, with both runways demonstrating 100% favorable wind conditions. Average crosswind components are moderate, measuring 5.5 knots for runway 07/25 and 7.3 knots for runway 12/30. Visibility averages 7.9 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility (below 3 miles occurring only 2.3% of the time).

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR flying months at Windsor Airport. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility during 30.1% of observations classified as marginal VFR, and 8.6% of times when instrument flight rules are in effect. The predominant westerly winds suggest runway 07/25 will typically provide the most favorable approach conditions.
