About New Bedford Regional Airport
Overview
New Bedford Regional Airport serves southeastern Massachusetts as a medium-sized airport located at 41.676102, -70.956902. Situated at 80 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical regional aviation infrastructure supporting general aviation and commercial operations in the New Bedford area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing approximately 70.4% of the time. Pilots can expect moderate wind conditions averaging 8.3 knots predominantly from the west (270°), with temperature ranges spanning from -16°C to 28°C. October, November, and September statistically offer the most favorable visual flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 05/23 measuring 4,997 feet and Runway 14/32 extending 5,000 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with relatively low average crosswind components of 4.6 and 6.1 knots respectively, which provides consistent operational flexibility for most aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Visibility averages 9 statute miles, with only 3.2% of observations showing conditions below 3 miles and minimal fog occurrence (1.6%). Pilots should anticipate predominantly westerly winds and be prepared for potential marginal visual (MVFR) conditions, which represent approximately 14.6% of observed weather patterns.
