About Harrisburg International Airport
Overview
Harrisburg International Airport (KMDT) serves the Harrisburg metropolitan area in Pennsylvania, situated at an elevation of 310 feet MSL. The airport supports medium-sized aviation operations with a single primary runway 13/31, which measures 10,001 feet in length with an asphalt surface. Its strategic location and substantial runway provide flexible operational capabilities for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KMDT demonstrate predominantly favorable flying conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 77.8% of the time. The airport experiences moderate temperature variations, ranging from -13°C to 31°C, with an average temperature of 7.5°C. Wind patterns are predominantly northwest at 315 degrees, averaging 8 knots, with calm conditions occurring 22% of the time and maximum gusts reaching 33 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic positioning offers consistent wind alignment, with runway 13/31 experiencing favorable wind conditions 100% of the time. Average crosswind components remain minimal at 3 knots, enhancing landing and takeoff predictability. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 9 statute miles, with limited instances of reduced visibility (below 3SM occurring only 2.6% of the time).
Approach Considerations
Seasonal flying presents optimal conditions during October, September, and January, characterized by high VFR probability. Pilots should anticipate potential marginal conditions, with Marginal VFR occurring 13.6% of the time and Instrument Flight Rules developing in 5.6% of observations. Fog appears infrequently, affecting operations in just 2.7% of recorded weather events.
