About Guernsey Airport
Overview
Guernsey Airport (EGJB) serves as the primary aviation gateway for the Channel Island of Guernsey, located off the coast of France. Situated at an elevation of 336 feet MSL near Saint Peter Port, the airport supports regional and domestic operations with its single runway 09/27 measuring 5,194 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
Weather statistics reveal consistently good flying conditions, with 70.9% of observations supporting VFR flight rules. The prevailing wind from the south (180°) averages 12.6 knots, with September, October, and November offering the most favorable VFR conditions. Temperature ranges between 2°C and 20°C, with an average of 11.3°C, providing stable flying environments.
Notable Features
The airport's location on the island presents unique geographic characteristics with maritime influences. The runway's orientation allows for excellent wind coverage, with 100% favorable wind conditions for runway 09/27 and an average crosswind component of 8.2 knots. Visibility consistently remains high, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (1.1% of observations).
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate predominantly southern winds when planning approaches to runway 09/27. The low frequency of extreme weather conditions (IFR and LIFR combined at 11.5%) suggests generally predictable approach environments. Wind variability includes rare calm periods (0.2% of observations) and potential maximum wind speeds up to 51 knots, requiring standard wind awareness protocols.
