About Barstow Daggett Airport

Overview

Barstow Daggett Airport serves the Daggett area in Southern California, situated at an elevation of 1,930 feet MSL. The medium-sized airport provides critical infrastructure for regional aviation operations, featuring two asphalt runways that support various aircraft types. Its location in the high desert region offers strategic utility for pilots traversing the southwestern United States.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Barstow Daggett Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 92.7% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The airport experiences prevailing westerly winds averaging 8.3 knots, with temperature ranges from -2°C to 37°C. October, December, and September represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions with minimal meteorological disruptions.

Notable Features

The airport's dual runway configuration (04/22 at 5,119 feet and 08/26 at 6,400 feet) provides excellent operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (6.3 knots for 04/22 and 3.2 knots for 08/26). The high desert terrain and elevation contribute to predictable atmospheric conditions and generally stable flight environments.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate predominantly westerly winds when planning arrivals and departures. Visibility consistently averages 9.9 statute miles, with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility (only 0.4% of observations show conditions below 3 statute miles). The runway lengths and wind characteristics make this airport accommodating for most general aviation and regional aircraft operations.
