About Huron Regional Airport
Overview
Huron Regional Airport serves the Huron, South Dakota region as a medium-sized airport situated at 1289 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 44.385201, -98.228500, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for central South Dakota, supporting regional and local flight operations with two substantial concrete runways.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Huron Regional demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 68.5% of the time. Pilots can expect primarily southerly winds averaging 10.1 knots, with temperature ranges spanning from -29°C to 33°C. Seasonal patterns indicate optimal flying conditions during autumn months (September, October, November), where visibility and wind characteristics are most favorable.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: Runway 12/30 measuring 7,201 feet and Runway 17/35 measuring 5,000 feet, both constructed of concrete. Wind data indicates both runways have 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind conditions of 5.4 knots for Runway 12/30 and 4.3 knots for Runway 17/35. The elevation and geographic positioning suggest a relatively open approach environment.
Approach Considerations
Meteorological observations reveal consistent wind patterns from the south (180 degrees), which provides predictable approach considerations. Visibility averages 9.2 statute miles, with instrument meteorological conditions occurring less than 12% of the time. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility scenarios, with fog present in 1.7% of observations and visibility below 3 statute miles in 3.1% of recorded events.
