Clovis Municipal Airport serves the eastern New Mexico region, situated at an elevation of 4,216 feet MSL near the Texas border. The airport provides medium-level aviation infrastructure with three runways accommodating various aircraft operations. Its strategic location supports regional transportation and serves general aviation needs in this high-plains environment.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Clovis Municipal are predominantly VFR, with 89% of observations showing favorable flying conditions. Temperatures range widely from -13°C to 34°C, with an average of 11.2°C, presenting potential temperature-related performance considerations for pilots. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 9.6 knots provide consistent and predictable wind patterns for flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways with different surface compositions: two asphalt (04/22 and 12/30) and one gravel (08/26). All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with moderate average crosswind components ranging from 5.2 to 6.9 knots. The high elevation of 4,216 feet MSL suggests potential density altitude considerations during warmer months.
