About Prescott International Airport - Ernest A. Love Field
Overview
Prescott International Airport serves the Prescott metropolitan area in central Arizona, situated at an elevation of 5,045 feet MSL. As a medium airport with three runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, supporting various general aviation, training, and potential commercial operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 88.7% of observations showing favorable visibility and weather. Temperature ranges from -7°C to 31°C, creating diverse flying environments throughout the year. Wind patterns are predominantly from the south at an average of 6.3 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 27 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation of 5,045 feet requires pilots to carefully calculate performance parameters, especially during warmer temperatures. All three runways are asphalted, with the longest runway (03R/21L) measuring 7,550 feet, providing substantial landing and takeoff capabilities. The consistently low percentage of IFR (1.9%) and LIFR (1.6%) conditions suggest generally stable meteorological environments.
Approach Considerations
All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components ranging from 3.4 to 4.5 knots. September, October, and December represent the most consistent VFR months for pilots. With an average visibility of 9.6 statute miles and infrequent low visibility events (below 3SM only 1.1% of the time), pilots can generally expect clear approach conditions.
