About Worland Municipal Airport

Overview

Worland Municipal Airport serves the Worland area in Wyoming, situated at an elevation of 4,227 feet MSL. The airport features three runways, with the primary runway 16/34 being a 7,005-foot asphalt surface capable of handling a wide range of aircraft. Its strategic location provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation and emergency services.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Worland Municipal Airport are predominantly VFR, with 93.1% of observations showing visual flight rules. The airport experiences prevailing southerly winds averaging 6.6 knots, with temperature ranges from -23°C to 32°C. Pilots can expect excellent visibility, with an average of 9.9 statute miles and minimal instances of restricted visibility.

Notable Features

The airport's three runways offer diverse operational flexibility, with runway lengths ranging from 2,240 to 7,005 feet. All runways are grass or asphalt surfaces, providing options for different aircraft types and wind conditions. The high elevation of 4,227 feet MSL requires pilots to consider density altitude effects, particularly during warmer months.

Approach Considerations

All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with minimal average crosswind components. Runway 16/34, the longest at 7,005 feet, offers the most comprehensive approach options. Pilots should reference current METAR data, as the airport experiences occasional marginal VFR conditions (4.4% of observations) that may require additional planning.
