Temperature ranges from -5°C to 34°C, creating variable atmospheric conditions throughout the year. Pilots can expect westerly winds averaging 6.3 knots, with calm conditions occurring 28.1% of the time and occasional gusts up to 26 knots.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) with an impressive length of 11,375 feet, constructed with asphalt surface. The runway demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and a relatively low average crosswind of 3.7 knots. Visibility averages 9.6 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility (below 3 miles occurring in only 1.3% of observations).

Approach Considerations

November, January, and September represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. The long runway and predictable wind patterns provide flexible approach options, with westerly winds being the prevailing meteorological characteristic. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions during 13.7% of observations, requiring appropriate flight planning and alternates.
