About Piedmont Triad International Airport
Overview
Piedmont Triad International Airport serves the Greensboro metropolitan area in North Carolina, positioned at an elevation of 925 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with three runways, it supports a variety of aviation operations, including commercial, cargo, and general aviation traffic. The airport's strategic location and substantial runway lengths make it a key transportation hub for the Piedmont region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at GSO are predominantly VFR, with visual flight rules applying 79% of the time. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -11°C to 31°C, which can impact aircraft performance and pilot planning. The prevailing southwest winds at 225° average 7.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 28 knots, and periods of calm conditions occurring 13.4% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features three paved runways, with the longest runway (05R/23L) extending 10,001 feet, providing ample length for most aircraft types. All three runways demonstrate consistent favorable wind alignments, with crosswinds typically minimal (3.6-5.2 knots). The surrounding terrain is characteristic of the Piedmont region, offering relatively consistent approach conditions.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during autumn months (September, October, November), with high visibility averaging 9.4 statute miles. Low visibility occurs infrequently, with conditions below 3 miles happening only 2.7% of the time, and fog present in just 2.7% of observations. The parallel runways 05L/23R and 05R/23L provide flexible approach options consistent with prevailing wind patterns.
