About Four Corners Regional Airport

Overview

Four Corners Regional Airport serves the Farmington, New Mexico area as a medium-sized airport located at 5,506 feet mean sea level. Situated at coordinates 36.741199, -108.230003, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in the Four Corners region, supporting various general aviation and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KFMN are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 92.5% of observations supporting VFR operations. The airport experiences prevailing easterly winds averaging 6.8 knots, with temperatures ranging from -17°C to 33°C. Seasonal visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 9.8 statute miles, with only 1% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 05/23 at 6,500 feet and Runway 07/25 at 6,704 feet. Its high elevation of 5,506 feet MSL requires pilots to carefully consider density altitude, especially during warmer months. The surrounding terrain and elevation suggest potential wind and density altitude challenges for aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

Both primary runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (4.2 knots for 05/23 and 3 knots for 07/25). September, October, and December offer the most consistently favorable VFR conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and be prepared for the high-altitude environment when planning arrivals and departures.
