Weather Briefing
VFRKingman Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 17 knots with gusts to 26 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 16-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component (gusting to 9 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of -9°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Kingman Airport
Overview
Kingman Airport serves the Kingman, Arizona region as a medium-sized airport situated at 3,449 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 35.259499, -113.938004, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in northwestern Arizona. The airport features three asphalt runways capable of accommodating diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate highly favorable VFR conditions 93% of the time, with minimal periods of restricted visibility. Prevailing winds from the southeast average 8.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 35 knots. Temperature ranges from -2°C to 34°C, creating relatively stable atmospheric conditions that support consistent flight operations throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's three parallel runways provide exceptional operational flexibility, with each runway measuring approximately 6,700-6,800 feet in length. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, minimizing crosswind challenges for pilots. The elevated terrain at 3,449 feet MSL requires standard high-altitude flight planning considerations.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection can be confidently determined by prevailing southeast winds, with average crosswind components ranging between 4.4-5.4 knots across all runways. October, September, and December represent the most consistent VFR months for arrivals and departures. Pilots should anticipate excellent visibility averaging 9.9 statute miles and minimal fog interference during approaches.
