About Winslow Lindbergh Regional Airport

Overview

Winslow Lindbergh Regional Airport serves the Winslow area in northeastern Arizona, situated at an elevation of 4,941 feet MSL. The airport features three asphalt runways, providing flexible operational capabilities for various aircraft types and serving regional transportation needs in this high-desert region.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KINW are predominantly VFR, with 96.4% of observations indicating clear flying conditions. Prevailing winds from the southeast average 7 knots, with temperatures ranging from -11°C to 33°C. Pilots can expect stable weather patterns, particularly during January, September, and December, which represent the best VFR months.

Notable Features

The airport's high elevation at 4,941 feet MSL requires careful performance calculations, especially during warmer months. All three runways (04/22, 11/29, and 17/35) offer substantial length over 6,000 feet, providing ample runway for most aircraft operations. The geographical location offers relatively consistent wind conditions with low crosswind components averaging 4-4.7 knots.

Approach Considerations

With 100% favorable wind coverage across all runways, pilots have flexible approach options. Runway 04/22 offers the longest surface at 7,499 feet, providing excellent landing and takeoff capabilities. The consistent southeast winds and high visibility average of 9.9 statute miles create generally predictable and comfortable approach conditions for most aircraft operations.
