About Goodland Municipal Airport
Overview
Goodland Municipal Airport serves Sherman County in northwest Kansas, situated at an elevation of 3,656 feet MSL. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, featuring three runways that accommodate various aircraft types and operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KGLD predominantly support visual flight rules (VFR), with 83.6% of observations in VFR conditions. Pilots can expect significant variability in temperature, ranging from -20°C to 34°C, with prevailing southerly winds averaging 10.2 knots and occasional gusts up to 49 knots. Winter months present more challenging conditions, with increased potential for reduced visibility and instrument flight rules (IFR) scenarios.
Notable Features
The airport's three runways offer diverse landing options with varying surface types: Runway 05/23 is asphalt, Runway 12/30 is concrete, and Runway 17/35 is grass. The longest runway (12/30) measures 5,499 feet, providing substantial length for most general aviation aircraft. The high elevation and open prairie environment contribute to potential wind and turbulence considerations.
Approach Considerations
All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with average crosswind components ranging from 5.1 to 7.4 knots. Pilots should anticipate southerly winds as the predominant wind direction, which aligns well with the runway configuration. Visibility averages 9.6 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility, though pilots should be prepared for occasional fog and low-visibility conditions.
