About Beauregard Regional Airport
Overview
Beauregard Regional Airport serves DeRidder, Louisiana as a medium-sized airport situated at 202 feet mean sea level. The airport offers four runways with lengths ranging from 4,220 to 5,495 feet, providing flexible operational capabilities for various aircraft types. Its geographical coordinates at 30.831699, -93.339897 place it in southwestern Louisiana's regional transportation infrastructure.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Beauregard Regional demonstrate predominantly favorable flying environments, with 77.3% of observations indicating VFR conditions. Winds predominantly come from the south at an average of 6.2 knots, with calm conditions occurring 37.7% of the time. Temperature ranges from -4°C to 35°C, and September through November represent the most consistently reliable VFR months for pilots.
Notable Features
All four runways are either asphalt (ASP) or petroleum mat (PEM) surfaces, offering consistent landing characteristics. The longest runway (18/36) extends 5,495 feet, providing substantial length for larger aircraft operations. All runways exhibit 100% favorable wind alignments, with minimal average crosswind components ranging from 2.9 to 5 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent wind conditions across all runways, with consistently low crosswind factors. Visibility averages 9.3 statute miles, with only 1.8% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. When planning approaches, the 18/36 runway offers the longest surface and may provide the most versatile operational environment under varying wind conditions.
