About Spokane International Airport
Overview
Spokane International Airport serves the metropolitan area of Spokane, Washington, located in the inland Pacific Northwest. As a medium-sized airport situated at 2376 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for commercial, cargo, and general aviation operations in eastern Washington state.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect highly variable weather conditions throughout the year, with visual flight rules (VFR) predominating 65.4% of the time. Winter months present challenges with increased potential for instrument meteorological conditions, including 12.5% IFR and 9.4% low IFR periods. The airport experiences a significant temperature range from -9°C to 29°C, with prevailing southerly winds averaging 8.2 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two substantial asphalt runways: Runway 3/21 at 11,002 feet and Runway 8/26 at 8,198 feet, providing flexibility for various aircraft types and wind conditions. The inland location and elevation contribute to distinct seasonal weather patterns, with September through November offering the most consistently favorable visual flying conditions.
Approach Considerations
With a prevailing south wind at 180 degrees, pilots should anticipate potential use of Runway 3/21 for takeoffs and landings. Visibility averages 8.7 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility, with 5.4% of observations showing less than 3 statute miles and 10.9% reporting fog conditions. Wind variability includes occasional strong gusts up to 42 knots, requiring careful wind assessment during approach and departure.
