About Zanesville Municipal Airport

Overview

Zanesville Municipal Airport serves the transportation needs of Muskingum County in southeastern Ohio. Located at an elevation of 900 feet MSL, the airport provides critical general aviation infrastructure for the Zanesville metropolitan area. The airport features two parallel paved runways capable of supporting a variety of aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate highly favorable flying conditions, with 65.6% of recorded periods reporting VFR conditions. Pilots can expect predominantly westerly winds averaging 7.3 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 26 knots. Temperature ranges from -17°C to 31°C suggest significant seasonal variation, with October, September, and November presenting the most consistently stable flying weather.

Notable Features

Both runways (04/22 and 16/34) are nearly identical in length at approximately 5,000 feet, providing flexible operational capabilities. The airport demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with both runways showing 100% favorable wind conditions and relatively low average crosswind components of 4.4 and 5.1 knots respectively. The airport's mid-elevation and geographical location contribute to predictable meteorological patterns.

Approach Considerations

Visibility averages 9.2 statute miles, with only 2.3% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced conditions, with fog present in 1.4% of observations. The consistent westerly wind pattern suggests runway 04/22 will typically offer the most favorable approach conditions, though both runways provide reliable access.
