About George Airport
Overview
George Airport serves the Southern Cape region of South Africa, situated at 648 feet above mean sea level near the coastal city of George. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (11/29) measuring 6,562 feet, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Western Cape province, supporting regional and commercial air transportation.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 58.1% of the time, with marginal VFR weather occurring 21.9% of observations. Seasonal patterns show optimal VFR flying conditions in September, October, and November, with temperature ranges from 7°C to 37°C and an average of 18.1°C. Wind conditions are characterized by southeast prevailing winds at 135° with an average speed of 7.6 knots and occasional gusts up to 31 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's runway 11/29 has favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of only 3.6 knots. Visibility is consistently good, averaging 10 statute miles with rare occurrences of reduced visibility (fog present in only 2.1% of observations). The airport's coastal location near the Indian Ocean likely contributes to its stable meteorological characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Given the consistent southeast winds, runway 11 and 29 offer reliable approach options with minimal wind complications. The low frequency of IFR conditions (11.3%) and extremely rare low IFR situations (8.8%) suggest generally stable approach environments. Pilots should anticipate mild crosswind components and prepare for potential southeast wind variations during approach and landing.
