About Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport
Overview
Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport serves the Glens Falls region in upstate New York as a medium-sized airport situated at 328 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 43.341202, -73.610298, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area with two asphalt runways supporting various general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Floyd Bennett Memorial are predominantly VFR, with 68.8% of observations indicating visual flight rules. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variation, ranging from -22°C to 29°C, with an average temperature of 3.4°C. Wind patterns are primarily from the south at an average of 6.4 knots, with calm conditions occurring 43.7% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: Runway 01/19 at 5000 feet and Runway 12/30 at 4000 feet, both constructed of asphalt surface. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with Runway 01/19 experiencing an average crosswind of 3.4 knots and Runway 12/30 averaging 4.8 knots. Average visibility is excellent at 8.5 statute miles, with only 6% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles.
Approach Considerations
Optimal VFR flying conditions occur during autumn months, specifically October, November, and September. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility during 6.8% of observations with fog presence. The consistent wind patterns and high percentage of VFR conditions make Floyd Bennett Memorial a relatively predictable airport for most general aviation operations.
