About Blythe Airport
Overview
Blythe Airport serves the southeastern California region near the Arizona border, located in a desert environment. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalt runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Blythe metropolitan area and surrounding rural communities. The airport's elevation of 399 feet MSL and strategic location make it an important regional aviation resource.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Blythe Airport are predominantly VFR, with 96.8% of observations showing favorable visual flight conditions. Winds typically originate from the north at an average of 6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 5°C to 40°C, with an average of 19.8°C, presenting potential density altitude considerations for pilots during summer months.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 08/26 at 6,543 feet and 17/35 at 5,800 feet, both constructed with asphalt surfaces. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. Average crosswind components are relatively low, measuring 4.4 knots for runway 08/26 and 2.9 knots for runway 17/35, which provides consistent operational flexibility for aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Visibility averages 9.8 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (below 3SM occurring in only 0.9% of observations). October, December, and September represent the most consistently favorable VFR months. Pilots should note the calm wind conditions occur in 23.1% of observations, which may impact runway selection and approach planning.
