About Glasgow Valley County Airport Wokal Field
Overview
Glasgow Valley County Airport serves the northeastern Montana region, situated in Glasgow at an elevation of 2,296 feet MSL. As a medium airport with two parallel asphalt runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for this rural area, supporting regional transportation and potential agricultural/utility aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 72.7% of the time, with variable weather patterns ranging from clear skies to potential IFR scenarios. Temperature extremes from -30°C to 32°C demand careful preflight planning, while wind conditions average 10.3 knots from an easterly direction, occasionally gusting up to 46 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two similarly sized runways (08/26 and 12/30, both approximately 5,000 feet long) oriented to provide excellent wind coverage. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with Runway 12/30 offering slightly lower average crosswind conditions at 3.6 knots compared to Runway 08/26's 6.4 knots.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and January represent the most reliable VFR months for operations. Visibility averages 9.2 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility, with 4.6% of observations showing less than 3 statute miles and 5.2% reporting fog conditions. Careful attention to current METAR and forecast data is recommended for safe approach and landing.
