About Las Vegas Municipal Airport
Overview
Las Vegas Municipal Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in the Las Vegas region at a high elevation of 6,877 feet mean sea level. Positioned at coordinates 35.654202, -105.141998, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area. Its two runways offer substantial operational capacity with lengths of 5,004 feet (02/20) and 8,198 feet (14/32), both constructed with asphalt surfaces.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 89.9% of recorded METARs reporting VFR conditions. The airport experiences a notable temperature range from -13°C to 27°C, with an average temperature of 7.8°C. Wind patterns are characterized by a southerly prevailing direction at an average of 9.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots and calm conditions occurring 6.6% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation of 6,877 feet MSL presents significant considerations for aircraft performance and density altitude effects. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with Runway 14/32 experiencing a slightly higher average crosswind of 6.4 knots compared to Runway 02/20's 4.3 knots. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 9.8 statute miles with minimal instances of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should note the most consistent VFR conditions occur during winter months, specifically January, December, and November. The dual runway configuration provides flexibility for approaches, with both runways offering favorable wind conditions. Approach planning should consider the high elevation and potential temperature variations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during extreme temperature periods.
