About Humberside Airport

Overview

Humberside Airport serves the northeastern region of Lincolnshire, located near Grimsby. Situated at 121 ft mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional and general aviation operations in the Humber area.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate predominantly VFR conditions, with 64.4% of METAR reports showing favorable flying conditions. Seasonal variations show significant temperature range from -6°C to 24°C, with prevailing southwestern winds at an average of 11.3 knots and maximum gusts up to 29 knots. September through November offer the most stable VFR flying conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary 7,218 ft runway (02/20) and a secondary 3,248 ft runway (08/26). Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and relatively low average crosswind components of 5.5 and 7.4 knots respectively. The airport's elevation and coastal proximity contribute to its unique meteorological characteristics.

Approach Considerations

With predominantly southwestern winds, runway 02/20 offers the most consistent approach conditions. Pilots should anticipate stable wind patterns and prepare for potential visibility variations, though the average visibility remains strong at 10 statute miles. Fog occurs in only 2.1% of observations, making instrument approaches generally predictable.
