About Crater Lake-Klamath Regional Airport

Overview

Crater Lake-Klamath Regional Airport serves the Klamath Falls region in southern Oregon, providing critical aviation infrastructure at an elevation of 4,095 feet MSL. The medium-sized airport offers three runways with substantial lengths, accommodating various aircraft types and operational needs. Its strategic location supports regional transportation, potential military, and general aviation requirements.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KLMT are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 87.2% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Temperature ranges from -10°C to 29°C, creating diverse seasonal flying environments. Winds are primarily from the south at an average of 7.3 knots, with calm conditions occurring 38.2% of the time, which generally supports stable flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways: two asphalt surfaces (01/19 and 07/25) and one concrete/PEM surface (14/32), with the longest runway measuring 10,301 feet. Its high elevation and proximity to mountainous terrain require pilots to carefully consider performance calculations and potential density altitude effects. The airport's geographic position in southern Oregon presents potential mountain wave and thermal variation considerations.

Approach Considerations

All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components ranging from 3.6 to 5.6 knots. September, October, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions, potentially providing optimal approach environments. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility scenarios, as 8.9% of observations include fog conditions and 1.9% report visibility below 3 statute miles.
