About Sacramento Mather Airport
Overview
Sacramento Mather Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in Sacramento, California, situated at an elevation of 98 feet mean sea level. The airport features two substantial runways: a 6,040-foot asphalt runway (04L/22R) and a longer 11,301-foot concrete runway (04R/22L), providing flexible operational capabilities for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 64.8% of observations supporting clear weather operations. Seasonal variations are notable, with September, October, and January offering the most consistent VFR conditions. Temperature ranges from -1°C to 38°C, and average visibility is 8.5 statute miles, though fog occurs in 7.1% of observations.
Notable Features
The airport experiences consistent southeasterly winds averaging 6.7 knots, with calm conditions occurring 34% of the time. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, and average crosswinds remain moderate at 5.1 knots. Instrument meteorological conditions (IFR and LIFR) are present in approximately 23.2% of observations, indicating potential challenging conditions.
Approach Considerations
Both runways offer favorable wind characteristics, with 04L/22R and 04R/22L providing reliable approach options. Maximum recorded wind speeds reach 34 knots, suggesting potential turbulence considerations during high-wind periods. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility scenarios, with 2.9% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles.
