About Evanston-Uinta County Airport-Burns Field

Overview

Evanston-Uinta County Airport-Burns Field serves the Evanston area in Wyoming, situated at a high elevation of 7,143 feet MSL. This medium-sized airport features two parallel runways (05/23 and 05R/23L), each 7,300 feet long with an asphalt surface. The airport's strategic location provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation and emergency service needs.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly visual flight conditions, with 80.8% of observations reporting VFR weather. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variation, ranging from -15°C to 26°C, with an average temperature of 3.3°C. Wind patterns are primarily southwestern, averaging 9.9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 39 knots and calm conditions occurring 6.4% of the time.

Notable Features

The high elevation of 7,143 feet MSL presents performance considerations for aircraft operations, particularly during warmer temperatures. Visibility is generally excellent, with an average of 9.5 statute miles, though fog can occur in 4.5% of observations. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced performance and increased density altitude effects, especially during summer months.

Approach Considerations

Both runways 05/23 and 05R/23L offer 100% favorable wind alignment and minimal average crosswind at 3.4 knots. September, October, and November provide the most consistent VFR conditions for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential challenges during winter months, when IFR and LIFR conditions combine to account for nearly 9% of observations.
