About Alliance Municipal Airport
Overview
Alliance Municipal Airport serves the regional transportation needs of western Nebraska, situated at an elevation of 3,931 feet MSL near the city of Alliance. As a medium-sized airport with three runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding agricultural and rural communities. The airport's strategic location and multiple runway configurations support diverse aviation activities.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable flying conditions, with VFR conditions present 84.8% of the time. Prevailing westerly winds average 10.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 43 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -24°C to 32°C, which can impact aircraft performance and require careful pre-flight planning. October, September, and January offer the most consistent VFR weather patterns.
Notable Features
The airport features three asphalt runways with substantial lengths: 08/26 at 6,200 feet, 12/30 at 9,202 feet, and 17/35 at 6,311 feet. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with modest average crosswind components between 5.5 and 7.1 knots. The high elevation and wide temperature range suggest pilots should carefully calculate density altitude and performance parameters.
Approach Considerations
Wind data indicates consistent westerly winds, making runway 08/26 particularly favorable for most operations. With an average visibility of 9.5 statute miles and only 1.9% of observations involving fog, visual approaches are typically feasible. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and be prepared for occasional reduced visibility conditions, which occur in approximately 15.1% of observations.
