About Morristown Municipal Airport

Overview

Morristown Municipal Airport serves as a critical medium-sized airport located in northern New Jersey, situated at 40.799062, -74.414949 with an elevation of 187 feet MSL. The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 05/23 at 5,999 feet and Runway 13/31 at 3,998 feet, supporting diverse general aviation and regional aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KMMU demonstrate excellent overall flyability, with VFR conditions prevailing 82.5% of the time. Wind patterns are predominantly westerly at 270° with an average speed of 7 knots, though pilots should be prepared for occasional gusts up to 28 knots. Temperature variations range from -19°C to 30°C, with November, January, and September offering the most consistently favorable flying conditions.

Notable Features

Both runways at Morristown Municipal Airport offer 100% favorable wind alignments, with minimal average crosswind components of 4.3-4.4 knots. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic location provide relatively stable meteorological conditions, with low occurrences of reduced visibility (only 1.8% of observations showing less than 3 statute miles) and minimal fog events (1.7% of observations).

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect consistent approach conditions with high predictability given the airport's weather profile. Both runways demonstrate balanced wind characteristics, allowing flexible operational planning. The statistically low occurrence of instrument meteorological conditions (IFR at 4.5%, LIFR at 2.9%) suggests generally reliable visual approach opportunities throughout the year.
