The airport experiences prevailing southwest winds at an average of 6.2 knots, with temperatures ranging from -11°C to 32°C and average visibility of 9.3 statute miles. October, November, and September offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. Runway 02/20 (6500ft) and Runway 13/31 (4020ft) provide flexible operational capabilities with minimal average crosswind components of 3.6 and 4.8 knots respectively. The airport experiences calm wind conditions 33% of the time, which can impact runway selection and approach planning.
Approach Considerations
Wind data suggests southwest approaches are most common, with consistent wind patterns supporting predictable flight operations. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility during 2% of observations with fog conditions, and be prepared for occasional periods where visibility drops below 3 statute miles. Temperature variations require standard cold and hot weather performance considerations for aircraft operations.
