Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 71.2% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -31°C to 31°C, with an average temperature of 2°C. Wind patterns are consistently from the west at an average of 7.3 knots, with calm conditions occurring 16.6% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: a 2,110-foot grass runway (04/22) and a 5,507-foot asphalt runway (14/32). Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with Runway 14/32 offering a slightly lower average crosswind of 3.5 knots compared to Runway 04/22's 5.7 knots. Visibility averages 9.2 statute miles, with only 2.1% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months, with optimal weather conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility during 1.4% of observations due to fog. The predictable western wind pattern and low crosswind percentages provide relatively straightforward approach and departure conditions for most aircraft operations.
