About San Luis County Regional Airport
Overview
San Luis County Regional Airport serves the San Luis Obispo area in California, providing a critical aviation hub for central coastal region transportation. Located at 212 feet above mean sea level, the airport offers two asphalt runways accommodating various aircraft operations with runway 11/29 providing a substantial 6,100-foot length for larger aircraft.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 67.4% of observations indicating favorable flying weather. Northwest winds at an average of 6.8 knots characterize the local wind patterns, with calm conditions occurring 34.1% of the time. Temperature ranges from 2°C to 31°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions for pilots.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates 35.236801, -120.641998, the airport is positioned in a coastal region with potential marine layer influences. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with Runway 11/29 experiencing minimal average crosswind at 3.3 knots. The airport's medium classification suggests capabilities for regional commercial and general aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate reliable VFR conditions, particularly during January, October, and December, which statistically offer the best visibility and weather predictability. Visibility averages 8.9 statute miles, with only 4% of observations showing conditions below 3 statute miles. Runway selection can be flexible due to consistent wind patterns and minimal crosswind challenges.
