About Joslin Field Magic Valley Regional Airport
Overview
Joslin Field Magic Valley Regional Airport serves Twin Falls, Idaho, situated at 4,154 feet mean sea level. As a medium-sized regional airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for south-central Idaho, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations with two paved runways.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly visual flight rules (VFR) conditions, with 81.5% of observations in VFR status. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -9°C to 29°C, which pilots should anticipate when planning flights. Prevailing winds from the south (180°) average 8.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 42 knots.
Notable Features
Located at 42.481800, -114.487999, the airport features two asphalt runways: a shorter 3,224-foot runway (12/30) and a substantial 8,703-foot runway (8/26). The elevated terrain at 4,154 feet MSL requires careful performance calculations, particularly during temperature extremes. Wind conditions favor Runway 12/30, with 100% favorable wind alignment and an average crosswind of 6.2 knots.
Approach Considerations
September, December, and October represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. Visibility averages 9.3 statute miles, with only 2% of observations below 3 statute miles. Pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility conditions, with fog present in 4.1% of observations and potential marginal VFR or IFR transitions.
