About Bemidji Regional Airport
Overview
Bemidji Regional Airport serves the northern Minnesota region, situated in Beltrami County near the city of Bemidji. Located at 1,391 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for a rural area known for its lakes and forests. The airport accommodates medium-sized aircraft with two substantial asphalt runways.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Bemidji exhibit significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 63.4% of the time. Pilots can expect marginal conditions (MVFR) approximately 22% of observations, with instrument conditions (IFR/LIFR) occurring about 14.6% of the time. Temperature ranges dramatically from -34°C to 30°C, with an average of -0.5°C, presenting potential challenging winter operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways aligned to optimize wind coverage: Runway 07/25 at 5,699 feet and Runway 13/31 at 6,598 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with average crosswind components of 6.1 knots and 3.7 knots respectively. Prevailing winds from the west (270°) at an average of 8.2 knots characterize the local wind environment.
Approach Considerations
Visibility averages 9.2 statute miles, with minimal fog (1.1%) and rare instances of visibility below 3 miles (2% of observations). September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and be prepared for rapid weather changes typical of northern Minnesota's climate.
