About Inverness Airport
Overview
Inverness Airport serves the Scottish Highlands region, located in the northeastern part of Scotland at an elevation of 31 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalt runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Inverness area, supporting regional and commercial flight operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Inverness Airport are predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR), with 81.3% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The prevailing southwest winds average 8.7 knots, with temperatures ranging from -6°C to 19°C and an average of 6.6°C. Pilots can expect favorable VFR conditions particularly during September, October, and November.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: 05/23 at 6,194 feet and 11/29 at 2,300 feet, both constructed of asphalt surface. Wind data indicates consistent wind patterns with minimal crosswind challenges, particularly on runway 05/23 which experiences 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of only 3.3 knots. Calm wind conditions occur 17.3% of the time.
Approach Considerations
Both primary runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with runway 05/23 offering the most consistent approach conditions. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (only 5.2% fog occurrence). Pilots should anticipate stable approach conditions, particularly during the autumn months when VFR conditions are most prevalent.
