About Igor I Sikorsky Memorial Airport
Overview
Igor I Sikorsky Memorial Airport serves the Bridgeport, Connecticut region as a medium-sized airport situated at 9 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 41.163502, -73.126198, the airport offers three paved runways supporting various aviation operations. Its strategic location provides critical general aviation and regional transportation infrastructure for southwestern Connecticut.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates predominantly favorable flying conditions, with 78.9% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Winds predominantly blow from the west at an average of 8.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 29 knots. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -11°C to 28°C, with September through November presenting the most consistent VFR weather patterns.
Notable Features
The airport features three asphalt runways with lengths ranging from 3,200 to 4,761 feet, providing flexibility for different aircraft types. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with relatively modest average crosswind components between 4.9 and 6.3 knots. Low elevation at 9 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain-related approach challenges.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection can be confidently determined by prevailing westerly winds, with Runway 06/24 and 11/29 offering longer operational surfaces. Visibility averages 9.2 statute miles, with only 2.2% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility during the 2.9% of observations with fog conditions, particularly during transitional seasons.
