Weather Briefing
VFRDeering Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 3°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Deering Airport
Overview
Deering Airport serves the remote Alaskan community of Deering, located in the northwestern part of the state. As a medium airport situated at 21 ft mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for transportation in this isolated region. The airport supports essential community connectivity with two gravel (GVL) runways that accommodate regional and local aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Deering Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 63.7% of the time. Pilots can expect challenging conditions, with Marginal VFR and Instrument Flight Rules occurring in 36.1% of observations. Winter temperatures average -9.3°C, ranging from an extreme low of -34°C to 6°C, presenting potential icing and cold-weather operational challenges.
Notable Features
The airport features two perpendicular runways: 02/20 (3300 ft) and 11/29 (2640 ft), both constructed of gravel. Prevailing winds from the southwest (225°) average 10.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 39 knots. The geographical location suggests potential terrain and wind complexity typical of Alaska's northwestern coastal regions.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 7.4 knots for 02/20 and 6.2 knots for 11/29. Visibility averages 9.1 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility, with 3.1% of observations reporting less than 3 SM. January, October, and November historically offer the most consistent visual flight conditions.
