About Redwood Falls Municipal Airport
Overview
Redwood Falls Municipal Airport serves the Redwood Falls area in southern Minnesota, providing general aviation services at an elevation of 1,024 feet MSL. The airport features two runways: a 2,050-foot grass runway (05/23) and a 4,001-foot asphalt runway (12/30), accommodating a variety of aircraft operations. Its strategic location and dual runway configuration make it a key regional aviation facility.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 65.2% of observations showing favorable flying weather. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variations, ranging from -30°C to 33°C, with an average temperature of 0.7°C. Wind patterns are primarily from the northwest at an average of 9.9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots. September, October, and November offer the most consistent VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's two runways provide flexibility for different wind conditions, with both runways showing 100% favorable wind alignment. The 4,001-foot asphalt runway (12/30) offers longer and more substantial landing capabilities compared to the 2,050-foot grass runway (05/23). Average visibility is excellent at 8.6 statute miles, with only 4.9% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles.
Approach Considerations
Crosswind considerations are minimal, with an average crosswind of 8.3 knots for runway 05/23 and 4 knots for runway 12/30. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility during 4.6% of observations with fog conditions. The northwest prevailing winds suggest runway 12/30 may typically provide the most comfortable approach, though both runways offer reliable landing options.
