About Norfolk International Airport
Overview
Norfolk International Airport serves the Hampton Roads metropolitan area in southeastern Virginia, functioning as a critical transportation hub for military and civilian aviation. Located at 36.895341, -76.201000 with an elevation of 26 feet MSL, the airport supports diverse aircraft operations in a strategically important coastal region.
Flying Conditions
As a coastal airport, Norfolk experiences variable weather conditions influenced by maritime atmospheric patterns and seasonal temperature shifts. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations across the two runways, with Runway 05/23 offering a substantial 9,001-foot asphalt surface and Runway 14/32 providing a shorter 4,875-foot asphalt surface.
Notable Features
The airport's low elevation and proximity to the Atlantic coast create unique geographic considerations for approach and departure procedures. The dual runway configuration allows for operational flexibility, with both runways constructed of asphalt and capable of supporting a range of aircraft types and sizes.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will typically depend on prevailing wind direction, with the longer 05/23 runway offering more landing and takeoff options for larger aircraft. The substantial length of the primary runway (9,001 feet) provides significant operational advantages for commercial and military aviation users.
