About Cecil Airport

Overview

Cecil Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Jacksonville, Florida, serving as an important regional aviation facility. Situated at 81 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides strategic access to Northeast Florida with four substantial runways ranging from 8,002 to 12,504 feet in length. Its geographic positioning and runway infrastructure make it suitable for various aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Cecil Airport demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) predominating 70.8% of observed periods. Pilots can expect northerly winds averaging 7.4 knots, with calm conditions occurring 47.1% of the time. Temperature ranges from -8°C to 34°C, and visibility typically exceeds 9 statute miles, though fog occurs in 13% of observations and conditions can drop below 3 miles in 4% of cases.

Notable Features

The airport features four parallel runways with precision pavement (PEM) surfaces, offering multiple operational configurations. All four runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind conditions ranging from 4.1 to 5.1 knots. The extensive runway lengths, particularly the 12,504-foot Runway 18L/36R, accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements.

Approach Considerations

Seasonal considerations suggest September, November, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions for operations. With multiple runways available, pilots have flexible approach options that align well with prevailing wind patterns. The airport's weather profile indicates instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) occur in approximately 29.2% of observations, recommending thorough pre-flight weather briefings and alternate planning.
