About Yellowstone Regional Airport
Overview
Yellowstone Regional Airport serves the Cody, Wyoming area, positioned near the eastern entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Located at an elevation of 5,102 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation access to this mountainous region of northwestern Wyoming, supporting both general aviation and regional commercial operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KCOD are predominantly VFR, with 89.5% of observations showing favorable visual flight rules. Winds predominantly blow from the west at an average of 9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -21°C to 28°C, which can impact aircraft performance and pilot preparation.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation at 5,102 feet requires careful performance calculations for aircraft. Runway 04/22 offers 8,268 feet of asphalt surface, providing substantial runway length for mountain airport operations. The surrounding terrain includes complex mountainous geography typical of northwest Wyoming, which can create localized wind and turbulence conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with wind conditions supporting 100% runway usability and an average crosswind of just 5 knots. September, January, and November historically offer the most consistent VFR conditions, with high visibility averaging 9.8 statute miles. Pilots should anticipate potential mountain weather variability and prepare accordingly.
