About Augusta State Airport
Overview
Augusta State Airport serves the Augusta, Maine region as a medium-sized airport situated at 352 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 44.320599, -69.797302, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for central Maine, supporting both general aviation and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Augusta State Airport demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing 70.7% of the time. Winter temperatures can drop to -17°C, while summer peaks around 26°C, creating diverse flying environments that require careful pre-flight planning. The prevailing northerly winds at an average of 6.7 knots and occasional calm periods (17% occurrence) contribute to generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphaltic runways: Runway 08/26 at 2,703 feet and Runway 17/35 at 5,001 feet, providing flexible operational capabilities. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 4.9 knots and 3.7 knots respectively, which enhance landing and takeoff predictability.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate excellent visibility averaging 8.8 statute miles, with only 5.5% of observations presenting visibility below 3 miles. September, November, and December offer the most consistent VFR conditions. Instrument meteorological conditions (IFR and LIFR) occur in approximately 14.8% of observations, suggesting the importance of having alternate flight plans and instrument ratings.
