About Chautauqua County-Jamestown Airport
Overview
Chautauqua County-Jamestown Airport serves the Jamestown region in western New York, situated at 1723 feet above mean sea level. The medium-sized airport features two asphalt runways accommodating various general aviation and regional aircraft operations. Its strategic location provides critical aviation infrastructure for Chautauqua County.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate highly variable flying conditions, with VFR and MVFR conditions each representing 36% of recorded periods. Temperature ranges from -19°C to 27°C, presenting potential icing and density altitude considerations for pilots. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 10 knots and maximum gusts of 31 knots characterize the airport's wind environment.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runway configuration (07/25 and 13/31) offers operational flexibility across different wind conditions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments with relatively modest average crosswind components of 5.5 and 6.8 knots respectively. Visibility averages 7.8 statute miles, with approximately 11.7% of observations experiencing reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility scenarios, with fog present in 8.6% of observations and periods where visibility drops below 3 statute miles. The westerly wind pattern suggests Runway 07/25 will frequently be the preferred runway for arrivals and departures.
