About Portland International Airport
Overview
Portland International Airport serves as the primary commercial airport for the Portland metropolitan area in Oregon, handling significant passenger and cargo traffic. Located at 31 feet mean sea level with coordinates 45.588699, -122.598000, the airport supports a large commercial aviation network with three substantial runways.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation at 31 feet MSL suggests minimal altitude-related performance challenges for most aircraft. Situated in the Pacific Northwest, the airport experiences varied seasonal weather conditions that can impact visibility and wind patterns, particularly during winter and transitional seasons.
Notable Features
Portland International features three asphalt runways: 03/21 at 7,001 feet, 10L/28R at 8,000 feet, and 10R/28L at 11,000 feet, providing substantial flexibility for different aircraft types and operational requirements. The airport's extended 11,000-foot runway offers excellent accommodations for heavy commercial and cargo aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation suggests potential wind considerations, with multiple runway headings allowing strategic selection based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the airport's geographic location and multiple runway configurations, particularly when operating larger aircraft on the shorter runways.
