Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Regina demonstrate significant seasonal variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) predominating 62.4% of observations. Pilots can expect challenging conditions during winter months, with temperatures ranging from -36°C to 31°C and an average of -2.4°C. Wind patterns are predominantly from the southeast at 135° with an average speed of 11 knots, occasionally reaching maximum gusts of 42 knots.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: 08/26 (6200 ft) and 13/31 (7900 ft), providing operational flexibility for different aircraft types. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind conditions, with modest average crosswind components of 7.7 knots for 08/26 and 4.1 knots for 13/31. Visibility averages 12.6 statute miles, with occasional reduced conditions including fog (6.2% of observations) and visibility below 3 miles in 5.6% of reports.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most consistent VFR conditions for operations. Instrument meteorological conditions occur in 19.4% of observations (combined MVFR and IFR), requiring pilots to be prepared for potential alternate planning. The prevailing southeast winds and minimal crosswind components generally support straightforward approaches to both primary runways, with consistent wind characteristics facilitating predictable landing conditions.
