About Vernon Regional Airport

Overview

Vernon Regional Airport is located in Vernon, British Columbia, serving the central Okanagan region. Situated at an elevation of 1140 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area. Its geographical position in the interior of British Columbia makes it an important regional transportation hub.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 1140 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment typical of the British Columbia interior. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations, particularly during summer months. The airport's location may experience diverse weather conditions characteristic of the Okanagan Valley, including potential thermal and wind effects.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (05/23) with a length of 3360 feet, constructed with an asphalt surface. Its geographic coordinates (50.246163, -119.330963) place it in a region with potentially complex terrain and microclimatic conditions. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23 provides a primary approach vector with its 3360-foot asphalt surface. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and runway alignment when planning arrivals and departures. The airport's moderate elevation and runway length require standard performance calculations, with particular attention to density altitude effects during warmer periods.
