About Coeur D'Alene Airport - Pappy Boyington Field

Overview

Coeur D'Alene Airport - Pappy Boyington Field serves the Coeur d'Alene region in northern Idaho, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the area. Located at an elevation of 2,320 feet MSL, the airport features two paved runways capable of handling a variety of aircraft operations. The airport is named after Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, a renowned World War II Marine Corps fighter pilot.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 60% of observations showing good visual flying conditions. The region experiences significant temperature variation, ranging from -12°C to 31°C, which can impact aircraft performance. Wind patterns are predominantly from the northeast at an average of 7.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 45 knots. October, September, and November historically provide the most consistent VFR weather conditions.

Notable Features

Both runways offer excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage for each orientation. Runway 02/20 measures 5,400 feet, while Runway 06/24 provides a longer 7,400-foot surface for larger aircraft. The average crosswind is minimal, at 3.1-3.4 knots, which contributes to generally comfortable landing and takeoff conditions. Low visibility events occur in approximately 2.9% of observations, primarily related to fog conditions.

Approach Considerations

Given the prevailing northeast winds, pilots should anticipate potential approaches on Runway 02/20 or 06/24 based on current wind conditions. The airport's moderate elevation and consistent wind patterns generally support predictable approach and landing scenarios. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility during winter months and early morning periods when fog is most likely to develop.
