About Concord Municipal Airport

Overview

Concord Municipal Airport serves the Concord, New Hampshire region as a medium-sized airport situated at 342 feet above mean sea level. The airport features three asphalt runways ranging from 3,200 to 6,005 feet in length, accommodating various aircraft types and operational needs. Its strategic location and multiple runway configurations make it a significant regional aviation facility.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 71% of observations supporting clear weather operations. Temperature variations are substantial, ranging from -22°C to 30°C, with an average of 3.9°C. Wind patterns are characterized by northwest prevailing winds at an average of 6.9 knots, with calm conditions occurring 38.5% of the time. September, October, and November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months.

Notable Features

The airport's three runways offer comprehensive wind coverage, with each runway experiencing 100% favorable wind conditions. Runway 17/35, the longest at 6,005 feet, provides the most extensive operational flexibility. Average crosswind components remain relatively modest, ranging from 3.2 to 5.4 knots across the runways, which supports stable approach and departure conditions.

Approach Considerations

Visibility averages 8.9 statute miles, with only 4.1% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility during the 3.8% of observations with fog conditions. The northwest prevailing winds suggest runway 03/21 and 17/35 may frequently offer the most direct wind alignment, though all runways demonstrate consistent wind favorability.
