About Kelsey Airport

Overview

Kelsey Airport is a medium airport located at coordinates 56.037498, -96.509697 in Kelsey, California. Situated at an elevation of 600 feet mean sea level, the airport serves regional aviation needs with its single gravel runway. Its geographical positioning suggests it likely supports local transportation and potentially agricultural or resource-sector aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's gravel runway and 600 ft elevation indicate potential variable surface conditions that can change with seasonal weather patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential surface irregularities and reduced braking performance due to the gravel runway composition. Careful attention to recent precipitation and current surface conditions will be critical for safe operations.

Notable Features

The single runway 12/30 measures 2,590 feet in length, which presents specific operational limitations for aircraft selection and payload planning. The gravel surface requires specialized landing techniques and heightened awareness of potential debris or surface inconsistencies. Aircraft performance calculations must account for the runway's non-paved nature and potential reduced friction coefficients.

Approach Considerations

Runway 12/30 suggests a roughly northwest/southeast orientation, which will influence approach and departure procedures based on prevailing winds. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning, including detailed weight and performance calculations specific to the gravel runway environment. Conservative approach speeds and techniques are recommended to manage the unique surface characteristics of this airport.
