About Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport
Overview
Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport serves the Greater Miami area as a medium-sized executive airport located north of Miami proper. Situated at a low elevation of 8 ft MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for business, private, and general aviation operations in the southeastern Florida region.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 89.5% of observations showing clear weather suitable for visual flight. Temperatures range from 6°C to 34°C, with an average of 23.9°C, creating generally stable flying environments. November through January represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions with high visibility averaging 9.8 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport features three asphalt runways with substantial length, providing flexible operational capabilities. Prevailing winds from the north (0°) at an average of 7.5 knots, with calm conditions occurring 15.4% of the time, contribute to predictable wind patterns. All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with modest average crosswind components between 4.5-4.8 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently favorable wind conditions across all runways, minimizing wind-related approach challenges. The longest runway (09L/27R) at 8,002 feet offers substantial landing and takeoff options for various aircraft types. With low elevation and minimal meteorological obstructions, approaches generally remain straightforward, supported by the airport's strong VFR statistical profile.
