About Griffiss International Airport
Overview
Griffiss International Airport serves the Rome, New York region as a medium-sized airport situated at 504 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 43.233799, -75.406998, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for central New York state, supporting various operational needs with its substantial 11,820-foot runway.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Griffiss demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 56.7% of observations. Pilots can expect moderate challenges, with Marginal VFR conditions occurring in 31.5% of cases and Instrument Flight Rules emerging in 9.8% of observations. The prevailing westerly winds at 270 degrees average 8.4 knots, with temperature ranges extending from -21°C to 27°C.
Notable Features
The airport's primary runway (15/33) offers consistent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions present 100% of the time. Average crosswind components remain modest at 5.8 knots, providing relatively predictable approach and departure conditions. Seasonal visibility remains strong, with an average of 8.4 statute miles and only 7.1% of observations featuring visibility below 3 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility during 4.6% of observations involving fog, and be prepared for wind variations that occasionally reach maximum speeds of 29 knots. The lengthy 11,820-foot runway provides substantial operational flexibility for most aircraft types.
