About Pocatello Regional Airport
Overview
Pocatello Regional Airport serves southeastern Idaho as a medium-sized airport located at 4,452 feet mean sea level. Situated in Pocatello, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, with two substantial asphalt runways offering significant operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KPIH demonstrate predominantly favorable flying environments, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 79.6% of the time. Temperature ranges from -11°C to 30°C, creating varied seasonal flying conditions, while wind patterns consistently blow from the southwest at an average of 9.5 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 41 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation at 4,452 feet MSL requires careful performance calculations, particularly for aircraft operating near their weight and altitude limits. Both runways (03/21 and 17/35) provide substantial length, with 9,060 feet and 7,150 feet respectively, accommodating a wide range of aircraft operations with minimal wind-related constraints.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect highly favorable wind conditions across both runways, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind components (4 knots for 03/21, 6.3 knots for 17/35). Visibility averages 9.6 statute miles, with only 1.3% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles, suggesting generally excellent approach conditions.
