About Gloucestershire Airport

Overview

Gloucestershire Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in Staverton, providing general aviation services in the western region of Great Britain. Situated at 101 feet mean sea level, the airport offers three asphalt runways accommodating various aircraft operations. Its strategic location and multiple runway configurations make it a versatile facility for pilots in the Gloucestershire area.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 68.2% of observations showing favorable visual flight rules. Winds are typically from the south at an average of 9.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots. Temperature variations range from -5°C to 23°C, with an average of 10.5°C, creating diverse flying conditions throughout the year. September, November, and January represent the most consistent VFR months for airport operations.

Notable Features

All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, minimizing crosswind challenges for pilots. The longest runway (09/27) extends 4,695 feet, providing substantial landing and takeoff options for various aircraft types. The airport's low elevation and relatively stable visibility (averaging 10 statute miles) contribute to predictable approach and departure conditions.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate minimal crosswind challenges, with average crosswind components ranging between 4.8 and 6.9 knots across the three runways. The airport's diverse runway configuration allows flexibility in landing and takeoff directions based on current wind conditions. With only 1.9% of observations reporting fog and negligible low visibility events, VFR approaches remain consistently feasible throughout the year.
