About Coastal Carolina Regional Airport

Overview

Coastal Carolina Regional Airport serves the New Bern area in North Carolina as a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 18 feet MSL. Located at coordinates 35.073002, -77.042900, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the coastal region. Its two asphalt runways support diverse general aviation and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KEWN predominantly support visual flight rules, with 74.6% of observations indicating VFR conditions. Pilots can expect moderate wind conditions, with a prevailing northerly wind at an average of 7.6 knots and occasional calm periods (22.4% of observations). Temperature ranges from -8°C to 33°C, with an average of 13.2°C, suggesting significant seasonal variation.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: Runway 04/22 at 6,004 feet and Runway 14/32 at 4,000 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with minimal average crosswind components (3.8kt for 04/22 and 5.4kt for 14/32). The low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for fog and reduced visibility, with 4.7% of observations reporting fog conditions.

Approach Considerations

January, October, and November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Visibility averages 9.2 statute miles, with only 2.7% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility and have alternate approach strategies, particularly during periods of potential maritime influence.
