About New Braunfels Municipal Airport
Overview
New Braunfels Municipal Airport serves the growing Texas Hill Country region, situated approximately 30 miles northeast of San Antonio. As a medium-sized airport with two parallel asphalt runways, the facility supports general aviation, training, and local transportation needs in Comal County. Its strategic location and dual runway configuration make it a versatile aviation facility for the area.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly visual flight conditions, with 67.8% of observations reporting VFR weather. Seasonal temperatures range widely from -3°C to 37°C, with an average of 18.9°C, requiring careful preflight planning for potential temperature-related performance considerations. The airport experiences consistent southern winds at an average of 7.4 knots, with September through November offering the most stable flying conditions.
Notable Features
Located at 651 feet mean sea level, the airport's moderate elevation provides relatively standard atmospheric conditions for aircraft operations. Both runways (13/31 and 17/35) measure approximately 5,360 feet in length, offering substantial runway options for various aircraft types. The prevailing winds from the south (180°) contribute to predictable and generally favorable approach and departure scenarios.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components of 5.6 knots for runway 13/31 and 3.9 knots for runway 17/35. Visibility averages 9.3 statute miles, with only 2% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles and minimal fog occurrence. Pilots should anticipate generally stable approach conditions, particularly during the recommended VFR months of September, October, and November.
