Kamloops John Moose Fulton Field Regional Airport serves the Kamloops area in British Columbia, Canada, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at an elevation of 1133 ft MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, supporting various aircraft operations with its two substantial runways. Its strategic positioning allows for diverse aviation activities in the British Columbia interior.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Kamloops demonstrate excellent overall VFR flying opportunities, with 80.6% of observations showing favorable visual flight rules. Temperatures range dramatically from -13°C to 34°C, presenting significant seasonal variation for pilots. Wind patterns predominantly come from the east at an average of 7.6 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 28 knots, and periods of calm conditions occurring 10.9% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a shorter 1875 ft asphalted runway (05/23) and a longer 8000 ft asphalted runway (09/27). Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with Runway 09/27 experiencing minimal average crosswind at 2.3 knots. The airport's elevation and geographic positioning in the interior of British Columbia suggests potential terrain and mountainous environment considerations for pilots.
