About Penticton Airport
Overview
Penticton Airport serves the Okanagan Valley region in British Columbia, Canada, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the area. Located at 1129 ft MSL with coordinates 49.463100, -119.601997, this medium-sized airport supports regional transportation and local aviation activities.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Penticton Airport are predominantly VFR, with 79.5% of observations showing favorable visual flight rules. The prevailing southerly winds at 180° average 9.5 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 36 knots. Temperature ranges from -11°C to 31°C, with an average of 7.3°C, indicating significant seasonal variation.
Notable Features
The single runway 16/34 is 6000 ft long with an asphalt surface, capable of handling medium-sized aircraft. Wind data shows 100% runway favorability, with an average crosswind of only 2.1 knots, providing consistent and predictable landing conditions. The airport's elevation and geographic position in the Okanagan Valley contribute to its unique microclimate.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent visibility averaging 14.3 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (only 0.4% below 3SM). September, October, and December offer the most consistent VFR conditions. The low occurrence of instrument meteorological conditions (IFR/LIFR at 2%) suggests generally stable approach environments.
