About London Airport

Overview

London Airport serves the southwestern Ontario region as a medium-sized airport located near the city of London, Canada. Positioned at an elevation of 912 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional and commercial operations. Its strategic location and dual runway configuration make it a significant transportation hub in southwestern Ontario.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect diverse flying conditions throughout the year, with visual flight rules (VFR) predominating at 57.7% of observed conditions. Marginal VFR and instrument flight rules occur in 38.2% of observations, indicating potential need for instrument rating and preparation. Temperature variations are substantial, ranging from -18°C to 28°C, with an average temperature of 2.9°C, which can significantly impact aircraft performance and preflight planning.

Notable Features

Both runways are asphalt-surfaced (ASP) with substantial lengths: Runway 09/27 at 6,300 feet and Runway 15/33 at 8,800 feet. Prevailing winds are westerly at 270 degrees, with an average speed of 9.3 knots and occasional gusts up to 27 knots. The runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage for both primary directions.

Approach Considerations

September through November offer the most consistent visual flight conditions, with optimal weather predictability. Crosswind components are moderate, averaging 4.8 knots for Runway 09/27 and 6.8 knots for Runway 15/33. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility, with observations showing 9.5% of conditions below 3 statute miles and 4.7% experiencing fog conditions.
