About Visalia Municipal Airport
Overview
Visalia Municipal Airport serves the Central California city of Visalia, located in Tulare County's agricultural region. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway measuring 6,559 feet, the airport supports general aviation, regional transportation, and local agricultural operations. The airport's elevation of 295 feet MSL positions it in the relatively flat San Joaquin Valley.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Visalia Municipal Airport demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing 51.2% of the time. Instrument meteorological conditions are notable, with MVFR, IFR, and LIFR conditions combining for 48.8% of observations. Temperature ranges from -1°C to 37°C, and wind patterns predominantly originate from the northwest at an average speed of 4.7 knots, with calm conditions occurring 38% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's runway 12/30 exhibits consistent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 2.2 knots. Visibility averages 7.4 statute miles, with limited restrictions: 6.6% of observations show visibility below 3 miles, and fog occurs in 14% of reports. September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate northwest winds when planning arrivals and departures, with a high probability of stable approach conditions. The relatively long runway (6,559 feet) provides ample landing and takeoff space across a wide range of aircraft types. During periods of reduced visibility, especially in winter months, instrument approach planning becomes critical due to the 18.9% LIFR condition frequency.
