About Wilmington Airport
Overview
Wilmington Airport (KILG) serves the Wilmington metropolitan area in Delaware, positioned at an elevation of 80 feet MSL. As a medium airport with three asphalt runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional commercial, private, and potentially military operations in the mid-Atlantic region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Wilmington Airport are predominantly favorable for flying, with VFR conditions present 77.2% of the time. The airport experiences moderate temperature variations from -12°C to 31°C, with consistent westerly winds averaging 8.2 knots. Pilots can expect optimal visual flight conditions particularly during October, November, and January.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways (01/19, 09/27, and 14/32) with substantial lengths between 4,603 and 7,181 feet, providing flexibility for different aircraft types and operations. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind conditions ranging from 4.9 to 5.6 knots, which contributes to predictable landing and takeoff scenarios.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate stable approach conditions given the airport's consistent wind patterns and excellent visibility averaging 9.3 statute miles. With extremely low fog occurrence (0.7%) and infrequent low IFR conditions (2.3%), the airport generally supports reliable flight operations across its three runways.
