Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 92.9% of observations reporting visual flight rules. The airport experiences west-prevailing winds averaging 7.4 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 51 knots. Temperature ranges from -15°C to 31°C, creating variable seasonal flying conditions with the most favorable VFR months being September, October, and November.

Notable Features

The single runway 03/21 is 5,000 feet long with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. The high elevation of 5,586 feet MSL presents performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during warmer temperatures and with higher density altitude conditions. Wind patterns show a calm frequency of 21.1%, indicating potential for variable wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 4.7 knots. Typical visibility averages 9.8 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility (below 3SM in only 0.8% of observations). Pilots should anticipate west-prevailing winds and plan approaches accordingly.
