About Central Kentucky Regional Airport

Overview

Central Kentucky Regional Airport serves the Richmond area, situated in the central part of Kentucky at an elevation of 1,002 feet mean sea level. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for Madison County, offering a medium-sized facility for regional aviation activities with a single runway designed to accommodate various aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Located at 37.630798, -84.332298, the airport experiences typical Midwestern regional climate conditions with potential seasonal wind variations. The airport's 1,002-foot elevation suggests moderate terrain characteristics that may influence local wind patterns and approach conditions.

Notable Features

The single runway 18/36 is 4,500 feet long and constructed with an asphalt surface (ASP), providing adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. The runway's orientation allows for operations aligned approximately with magnetic north-south headings, which can be advantageous for managing prevailing regional wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate standard north-south approach procedures given the runway's 18/36 alignment. The 4,500-foot asphalt runway offers sufficient length for most general aviation and regional aircraft, with approach considerations typical of a medium regional airport in central Kentucky's terrain.
