Located at coordinates 37.857914, -80.400438, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the regional transportation network in a mountainous terrain environment.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate predominantly favorable VFR conditions 71% of the time, with marginal VFR conditions occurring 22.7% of observation periods. Wind patterns are consistently westerly at 270 degrees with an average speed of 6.8 knots, though occasional gusts up to 47 knots are possible. Temperatures range dramatically from -17°C to 28°C, with September through November presenting the most stable flying conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (04/22) measuring 7,004 feet with an asphalt surface, capable of handling medium-sized aircraft.
