About Felts Field

Overview

Felts Field serves the Spokane metropolitan area as a medium-sized airport located in eastern Washington state. Situated at 1953 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical general aviation infrastructure for the region. Its three runways accommodate diverse aircraft operations in a strategic inland Northwest location.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Felts Field are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 63.2% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Pilots can expect significant variability, with MVFR conditions occurring 23% of the time and occasional IFR/LIFR periods. Temperature ranges from -9°C to 32°C, with a moderate average of 6.7°C, suggesting potential seasonal performance considerations for aircraft.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways with varying surfaces: a water runway (3W/21W at 6000ft), a concrete runway (4L/22R at 4500ft), and an asphalt runway (4R/22L at 2650ft). Prevailing winds from the southwest (225°) average 6.6 knots, with calm conditions observed 51.4% of the time. Wind speeds can occasionally reach up to 32 knots, requiring pilot attentiveness.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate southwest wind conditions when planning approaches, with potential crosswind components. Visibility averages 8.9 statute miles, though brief periods of reduced visibility (below 3SM) and light fog can occur. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR flying months for operations at Felts Field.
