Consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles supports reliable visual navigation.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect optimal flying conditions during January, December, and October, which represent the best VFR months. The runway's orientation and prevailing northwest winds provide predictable approach and departure conditions. With calm wind conditions occurring only 1.5% of the time, standard wind considerations should be routine for most operations.
