About Lake Havasu City International Airport
Overview
Lake Havasu City International Airport serves the southwestern Arizona region, situated in a desert environment near the California border. The medium-sized airport supports regional aviation with three distinct runways, offering flexibility for different aircraft types and operational requirements. Its location provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Lake Havasu City area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KHII are predominantly excellent for VFR flight, with 98.2% of observations supporting visual flight rules. The airport experiences relatively consistent winds from the north at an average of 7.4 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 27 knots. Temperature ranges from 6°C to 40°C, creating moderate thermal conditions that pilots should consider during flight planning.
Notable Features
The airport's elevation of 783 feet mean sea level positions it in a relatively flat desert terrain. Multiple runway configurations (8001ft asphalt, 2000ft concrete, and 1800ft dirt) provide operational diversity for different aircraft categories. The geographic positioning near Lake Havasu offers unique navigation landmarks and terrain considerations for approaching pilots.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32 demonstrates optimal wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of only 3.4 knots. Pilots should note September, December, and October as the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. The airport's high visibility average of 9.9 statute miles further enhances safe approach and landing potential.
