About Midland International Air and Space Port
Overview
Midland International Air and Space Port serves the Midland-Odessa metropolitan area in west Texas, strategically located in the Permian Basin region. As a medium-sized airport with multiple runways, it supports commercial, general aviation, and aerospace operations. The airport's elevation of 2,871 feet MSL and multiple runway configurations provide flexibility for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 91% of observations showing clear weather and excellent visibility averaging 9.6 statute miles. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -6°C to 37°C, with an average of 16.3°C. Prevailing winds from the south at an average of 9 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 38 knots, characterize the local wind environment.
Notable Features
The airport features four paved runways with lengths ranging from 4,247 to 9,501 feet, accommodating a wide variety of aircraft. Located in a semi-arid region, the terrain is typically flat with minimal terrain-induced weather complications. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components between 4.9 and 6.7 knots.
Approach Considerations
October, September, and January represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. Runway selection can be flexible due to consistent wind patterns, with all runways showing favorable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate minimal fog (1% of observations) and rare low IFR conditions (0.9%), making this a relatively predictable airport for approach and landing.
