About Akron Canton Regional Airport
Overview
Akron Canton Regional Airport serves the greater Akron, Ohio metropolitan area as a strategic medium-sized airport. Located at 1,228 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for northeast Ohio, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations. Its three asphalt runways offer substantial runway length, with the longest two exceeding 7,600 feet.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KCAK demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 61.4% of observations. Pilots can expect westerly winds averaging 9 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 28 knots. Temperature ranges from -19°C to 29°C suggest potential challenging winter and summer operations, with September through November presenting the most consistently favorable VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's three runways (01/19, 05/23, and 14/32) provide excellent wind coverage and operational flexibility. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with moderate average crosswind components ranging from 5.1 to 6.5 knots. The elevation of 1,228 feet MSL and geographic coordinates (40.916100, -81.442200) position the airport in a terrain that requires standard mountain/plateau flying considerations.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection should prioritize wind direction, with all three runways offering excellent alignment. The extended runway lengths (both primary runways near 7,600 feet) provide ample landing and takeoff distances for most aircraft types. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility conditions, as 8.9% of observations report visibility below 3 statute miles, with occasional fog presence at 2.1% of recorded periods.
