About JAGS McCartney International Airport
Overview
JAGS McCartney International Airport serves Cockburn Town in the Turks and Caicos Islands, functioning as a medium-sized airport at 13 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 21.444500, -71.142303, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for this Caribbean island region, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at MBGT are predominantly VFR, with 97.8% of observations indicating clear flying conditions. The prevailing easterly winds average 8.5 knots, with temperatures consistently ranging between 23°C and 32°C and an average of 27.9°C. Visibility remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with no recorded instances of fog or significant visual restrictions.
Notable Features
The single runway 11/29 spans 6,362 feet with an asphalt surface, oriented to maximize alignment with the consistently easterly wind patterns. With wind favorable 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 3.6 knots, the airport offers predictable and stable approach conditions. The geographical location provides a relatively flat terrain typical of Caribbean island environments.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect highly consistent approach conditions, particularly during peak VFR months of January, December, and September. The runway's orientation and prevailing winds suggest minimal wind-related approach challenges, with easterly winds providing natural alignment for landing and takeoff procedures. Maximum recorded wind speeds of 80 knots indicate potential occasional turbulence, though statistical averages suggest generally stable conditions.
