About Adirondack Regional Airport
Overview
Adirondack Regional Airport serves the Saranac Lake region in upstate New York, situated at an elevation of 1,663 feet MSL. The airport features two asphalt runways, with the primary runway 05/23 extending 6,573 feet, providing substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KSLK demonstrate significant variability, with marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions predominating at 42.7% of observations. Pilots can expect southwest winds averaging 7.2 knots, with temperature ranges from -30°C to 25°C, creating potentially challenging winter operations. October, September, and December offer the most favorable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation and location in the Adirondack mountain region presents unique geographical challenges for pilots. Both runways 05/23 and 09/27 demonstrate favorable wind alignments, with minimal average crosswind components (2.2kt and 4.1kt respectively), which supports consistent operational capabilities.
Approach Considerations
With visibility averaging 7.5 statute miles and only 10.6% of observations showing reduced visibility, approach planning typically remains straightforward. Pilots should be prepared for potential winter weather limitations, noting that fog occurs in 4.2% of observations and temperature variations can significantly impact aircraft performance.
