About Warton Aerodrome

Overview

Warton Aerodrome is a medium-sized airport located in Lancashire, United Kingdom, positioned at 53.745098, -2.883060. Situated at an elevation of 55 feet above mean sea level, the airport features two asphalt runways that provide significant operational flexibility for aircraft movements.

Flying Conditions

Historical weather data indicates predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 69.3% of observations showing good visual flying conditions. The prevailing wind is from the south at 180° with an average speed of 9.5 knots, and temperature ranges from -7°C to 20°C, creating generally stable flying environments. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with minimal average crosswind components of 6 knots or less.

Notable Features

The airport's two runways offer different lengths and orientations, with Runway 07/25 providing a substantial 7,946-foot surface and Runway 14/32 offering a 4,189-foot alternative. The terrain surrounding Warton Aerodrome appears relatively flat, consistent with its low elevation of 55 feet MSL, which suggests minimal terrain-related approach challenges.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect excellent wind alignment for both runways, with minimal crosswind interference. November, September, and December represent the most consistent VFR months, offering the most predictable flying conditions. The extremely low occurrence of fog (0.9%) and consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles further enhance approach reliability.
