About Roberts Field
Overview
Roberts Field serves the Redmond, Oregon region as a medium-sized airport situated at 3,080 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 44.254101, -121.150002, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for central Oregon, supporting regional and local flight operations with two substantial asphalt runways.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly favorable VFR conditions 82.2% of the time, with LIFR and IFR conditions occurring in 14% of reports. Temperature ranges from -9°C to 32°C, creating diverse flying environments throughout the year. Seasonal visibility averages 9.4 statute miles, with only 3.4% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 11/29 at 6,998 feet and 5/23 at 7,040 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Wind patterns are characterized by a southern prevailing direction at 180 degrees, with an average speed of 6.7 knots and occasional maximum gusts up to 28 knots. Calm wind conditions occur in 21.8% of observations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 demonstrates optimal wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 4.4 knots. September, October, and December represent the most consistent VFR months for pilots, offering the most predictable approach and departure conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential variability in wind and visibility, particularly during winter and early spring months.
