About Southwest Oregon Regional Airport

Overview

Southwest Oregon Regional Airport serves the coastal communities of North Bend and Coos Bay, providing essential aviation infrastructure in southwestern Oregon. Located at an elevation of 17 feet MSL, the airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with two paved runways offering substantial length and flexibility for various aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KOTH demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 52.6% of the time. Pilots should anticipate potential marginal or instrument flight conditions, as MVFR, IFR, and LIFR conditions combine to represent 47.4% of observations. Seasonal temperature ranges from -1°C to 26°C, with prevailing southeast winds averaging 7.2 knots.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 05/23 at 5,980 feet and Runway 13/31 at 4,470 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (5.5 and 4 knots respectively). Coastal proximity suggests potential marine layer and fog influences, with observations indicating fog present in 5.7% of recorded conditions.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect relatively consistent wind patterns from the southeast at 135 degrees, with calm conditions occurring 11.7% of the time. Visibility averages 8.4 statute miles, though occasional reduced visibility below 3 miles occurs in 6.9% of observations. September, October, and January historically offer the most consistent visual flight conditions at this regional airport.
