About Akron Fulton International Airport
Overview
Akron Fulton International Airport serves the greater Akron, Ohio metropolitan area as a medium-sized airport situated at 1,067 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 41.037355, -81.467840, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region with two paved runways supporting various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 59.9% of the time, with MVFR conditions occurring 29% of observations. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -18°C to 30°C, with an average of 4.7°C. Wind conditions are typically from the west (270°) at an average of 9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 28 knots and calm periods occurring 17.3% of the time.
Notable Features
Both runways (01/19 and 07/25) offer favorable wind alignments with 100% coverage and relatively low average crosswind conditions. Runway 01/19 measures 2,336 feet in length with an asphalt surface, while runway 07/25 provides a longer 6,337-foot asphalt runway. Visibility averages 8.6 statute miles, with infrequent low visibility events.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and November represent the best VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate minimal fog (1% of observations) and limited periods of visibility below 3 statute miles (3.6% of reports). The consistent westerly winds suggest runway 07/25 may offer more favorable approach conditions for most wind scenarios.
