About Northeast Philadelphia Airport

Overview

Northeast Philadelphia Airport serves as a critical general aviation facility located in the northeastern quadrant of Philadelphia. Situated at 120 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the metropolitan area. Its medium-sized classification and two paved runways support diverse aircraft operations in the greater Philadelphia region.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with approximately 79% of observations reporting clear weather. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -15°C to 30°C, which demands careful preflight planning and consideration of performance impacts. Wind conditions are primarily western, averaging 8.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 28 knots and calm periods occurring 16.2% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport features two parallel asphalt runways: Runway 06/24 at 7,000 feet and Runway 15/33 at 5,000 feet. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and modest average crosswind components of 4.9 and 5.8 knots respectively. The airport's geographical positioning provides relatively consistent wind patterns that support predictable approach and departure conditions.

Approach Considerations

Seasonal considerations reveal November, September, and October as the most favorable VFR months for operations. Visibility averages 9.3 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility (below 3 miles in only 1.7% of observations). Pilots should anticipate potential marginal conditions, with IFR and LIFR conditions collectively representing approximately 6.6% of recorded weather observations.
