About Boulder City Municipal Airport

Overview

Boulder City Municipal Airport serves the aviation needs of Boulder City, located in Nevada, United States. Situated at an elevation of 2201 feet above mean sea level, this medium airport provides critical infrastructure for regional air transportation. The airport's coordinates (35.947161, -114.858799) position it in a strategic location for local and transient aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 2201 ft MSL suggests moderate atmospheric conditions typical of the southwestern United States. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude variations, particularly during summer months when temperature can significantly impact aircraft performance. The airport's multiple runways (09/27 at 5103ft, 09L/27R at 2200ft, and 15/33 at 3850ft) offer flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types.

Notable Features

Boulder City Municipal Airport features three asphalt runways with varying lengths, providing operational versatility for different aircraft categories. The diverse runway configuration allows for multiple approach and departure options depending on wind direction and aircraft performance characteristics. Its medium airport classification indicates it supports a range of general aviation and potentially some commercial or utility aviation activities.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should carefully evaluate wind conditions when selecting runways, considering the three available asphalt surfaces. The primary runway 09/27 at 5103 feet offers the longest landing and takeoff option, which may be preferable for larger aircraft or those with higher performance requirements. Crosswind and secondary runways provide additional operational flexibility for varying meteorological conditions.
