About St George Regional Airport

Overview

St George Regional Airport serves southwestern Utah as a medium-sized airport situated at 2,941 feet above mean sea level. Located near the city of St George, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, offering a substantial 9,300-foot runway capable of supporting a wide range of aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly excellent VFR conditions, with 97.2% of observed weather periods supporting visual flight rules. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 36°C create diverse flying environments, though the average temperature of 13.6°C suggests generally moderate conditions. Wind patterns are characterized by southerly prevailing winds at an average of 5.9 knots, with calm conditions occurring 40.9% of the time.

Notable Features

Situated in southwestern Utah, the airport's terrain involves potential desert and mountainous considerations for pilots. The single runway (1/19) is constructed of asphalt, providing a robust 9,300-foot surface suitable for most aircraft types. Its geographical coordinates (37.036389, -113.510306) place it in a region with potentially complex local wind and terrain interactions.

Approach Considerations

With prevailing southerly winds, runway orientation suggests potential preference for approaches from north or south depending on specific wind conditions. The extensive runway length of 9,300 feet provides significant operational flexibility for most aircraft. Pilots should anticipate generally excellent visibility, with an average of 9.9 statute miles and no recorded significant fog events.
