About Ilorin International Airport
Overview
Ilorin International Airport serves the Kwara State capital region in central Nigeria, positioned at 8.440210, 4.493920 with an elevation of 1126 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a substantial 10,169-foot asphalted runway, it supports regional and potentially international aviation operations in a strategically important West African location.
Flying Conditions
Weather data indicates predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 72.2% of observations supporting clear flight operations. The airport experiences consistent southerly winds averaging 6.1 knots, with temperatures ranging from 19°C to 39°C and an average of 27.7°C. September through November represent the most reliable VFR months, offering the most stable flying conditions.
Notable Features
The single runway (05/23) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of only 3.8 knots. Pilots can expect extremely low probability of challenging meteorological conditions, with less than 1.6% of observations indicating Low Instrument Flight Rules (LIFR) status and zero reported instances of significant visibility restrictions.
Approach Considerations
Given the prevailing southerly wind pattern, runway 05 (north-northeast heading) will typically offer the most comfortable approach characteristics. The extensive runway length of 10,169 feet provides substantial margin for varied aircraft types, and the consistent weather patterns suggest minimal approach complexity for instrument-rated pilots.
