About Burley Municipal Airport

Overview

Burley Municipal Airport serves the aviation needs of south-central Idaho, located near the city of Burley in Cassia County. Situated at an elevation of 4,150 feet mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical infrastructure for general aviation in the region. The airport features two asphalt runways that support various aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Burley Municipal Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 83% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Winds are consistently from the west at an average of 7.9 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 27 knots. Seasonal temperature variations range from -8°C to 30°C, with September, October, and December offering the most stable VFR flying conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's two parallel runways (02/20 and 06/24) both measure approximately 4,100 feet in length, providing flexibility for different aircraft types. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components of 4.9 and 3.4 knots respectively. The high-elevation location at 4,150 feet MSL requires pilots to consider density altitude effects, particularly during warmer months.
