About Manhattan Regional Airport
Overview
Manhattan Regional Airport serves as a key regional transportation hub for the Manhattan, Kansas area, located in the heart of the state. Situated at an elevation of 1,057 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for general aviation, regional connectivity, and local transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KMHK demonstrate predominantly favorable VFR flying opportunities, with 78% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -17°C to 33°C, which pilots should consider for performance planning. The prevailing southwest winds at an average of 7.1 knots with occasional gusts up to 21 knots create generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a longer 7,000-foot concrete runway (03/21) and a shorter 3,800-foot pavement runway (13/31). Both runways offer 100% favorable wind coverage, with minimal average crosswind components of 3.2 knots for 03/21 and 5.6 knots for 13/31. Visibility averages 9.2 statute miles, with only 2.2% of observations reporting visibility below 3 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal flying conditions during January, September, and October, which statistically provide the best VFR environments. The prevailing southwest winds typically favor both runway configurations, allowing flexible approach and departure options. With only 3.8% of observations reporting fog, instrument approaches should generally be manageable, though pilots should always verify current conditions.
