The airport features two substantial asphalt runways: a 6,795-foot runway (05/23) and a 9,001-foot runway (14/32), providing versatile operational capabilities for various aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 56.7% of observations reporting VFR conditions and an additional 27.8% showing marginal VFR. The wind profile is characterized by westerly prevailing winds at an average of 9 knots, with temperature ranges from -21°C to 29°C. September, October, and November historically offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's dual runways provide excellent wind coverage, with both 05/23 and 14/32 demonstrating 100% favorable wind alignments. Average crosswind components are relatively mild, measuring 4.9 knots for runway 05/23 and 6.5 knots for runway 14/32. Visibility averages 8.6 statute miles, with only 4.4% of observations reporting visibility below 3 statute miles.

Approach Considerations

Approach planning should consider the airport's consistent westerly wind patterns and robust runway infrastructure. With low occurrence of instrument meteorological conditions (15.4% combined IFR and LIFR), pilots can generally expect good approach visibility. Fog is present in only 2.6% of observations, further supporting consistent operational reliability.
