About Mobile Regional Airport

Overview

Mobile Regional Airport serves the Gulf Coast region of Alabama, positioned near the city of Mobile and the Mississippi border. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalt runways, it supports both commercial and general aviation operations. The airport's elevation of 219 feet MSL provides a relatively low-altitude operating environment in southeastern United States.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions at KMOB, with 73.2% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Temperature ranges from -4°C to 42°C indicate significant seasonal variation, while the average wind speed of 6.8 knots suggests generally mild conditions. Northerly winds predominate, and pilots should be aware that calm winds occur in 19.6% of observations.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: Runway 14/32 at 8,521 feet and Runway 18/36 at 4,365 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Both runways demonstrate favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind (4 knots and 3.2 knots respectively). Visibility averages 8.9 statute miles, with only 2.4% of observations reporting visibility below 3 statute miles.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most consistent VFR months for operations at Mobile Regional Airport. Fog occurs in 5.5% of observations, which may impact approach planning during certain seasons. The airport's wind patterns suggest minimal runway selection challenges, with both runways showing excellent wind alignment and low crosswind potential.
