About Laramie Regional Airport

Overview

Laramie Regional Airport serves the city of Laramie, Wyoming, situated at a high elevation of 7,284 feet MSL. The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary 8,500-foot runway (03/21) and a secondary 6,300-foot runway (12/30), supporting various aviation operations in southeastern Wyoming.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 88.7% of the time, with southwest winds averaging 12.2 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -22°C to 28°C, which can impact aircraft performance at the high-altitude airport. October, November, and September offer the most consistently favorable flying weather.

Notable Features

The airport's high elevation at 7,284 feet requires careful performance calculations and consideration of density altitude effects. Crosswind components are moderate, with average crosswinds of 7.5 knots on Runway 03/21 and 8.4 knots on Runway 12/30. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment.

Approach Considerations

Visibility averages 9.6 statute miles, with only 1.5% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should be prepared for occasional fog (1.2% of observations) and potential wind shifts, with maximum recorded wind speeds reaching 46 knots. The southwest prevailing winds typically favor both runway configurations.
