About St Lucie County International Airport

Overview

St Lucie County International Airport serves the Fort Pierce area in Florida, positioned at an elevation of 24 feet mean sea level. The airport offers two asphalt runways accommodating various general aviation and regional aircraft operations. Its strategic location on Florida's east coast provides an important aviation infrastructure point for the region.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 81.8% of observations supporting clear weather operations. Wind patterns are consistently easterly at an average of 6.5 knots, with calm conditions occurring 28.6% of the time. Temperature ranges from 1°C to 32°C, with November through January presenting the most stable VFR flying conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: 10R/28L at 6,492 feet and 14/32 at 4,756 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 3.2 and 4.1 knots respectively. The relatively low elevation and coastal location suggest minimal terrain challenges for approaching aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Visibility averages 9.1 statute miles, with only 3.6% of observations showing conditions below 3 statute miles. Pilots should be prepared for occasional fog events, which occur in approximately 6% of observations. The consistent easterly winds make runway 10R/28L particularly favorable for most approach and departure scenarios.
