About Brunswick Executive Airport

Overview

Brunswick Executive Airport serves as a strategic medium-sized airport located in coastal Maine, situated at 43.892200, -69.938599 with an elevation of 72 feet MSL. The airport features three substantial runways, including two 8,000-foot asphalted runways (01L/19R and 01R/19L) and a 6,000-foot asphalted crosswind runway (09/27). Its configuration supports diverse aviation operations in the northeastern United States.

Flying Conditions

Weather data indicates predominantly favorable flying conditions, with VFR conditions present 82.5% of the time. Temperature ranges from -24°C to 26°C, creating varied seasonal flying environments. Wind patterns are characterized by northerly prevailing winds averaging 7.9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 29 knots and calm conditions occurring 24.9% of the time. September, October, and November offer the most consistent VFR conditions for pilots.

Notable Features

The airport's three-runway configuration provides exceptional operational flexibility, with each runway demonstrating 100% favorable wind alignment. Runways 01L/19R and 01R/19L have remarkably consistent low average crosswind speeds of 3.9 knots, while the 09/27 runway experiences slightly higher crosswind conditions at 6.2 knots. Visibility averages an excellent 9.5 statute miles, with limited restrictions (fog occurs only 2.2% of the time and visibility drops below 3SM just 1.5% of observations).

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect reliable approach conditions across all runways, with minimal wind-related complications. The consistent northerly wind pattern suggests 01/19 runways will typically offer the most straightforward approaches. Low crosswind averages indicate predictable landing conditions, though pilots should always verify current METAR and local conditions before arrival. The airport's substantial runway lengths (8,000 and 6,000 feet) provide ample landing and takeoff options for most aircraft classes.
