About Dallas Love Field
Overview
Dallas Love Field serves as a major metropolitan airport in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, strategically located in an urban environment. The airport handles medium-scale commercial and general aviation traffic, with three concrete and asphalt runways supporting diverse flight operations. Its central location and substantial runway lengths make it a key transportation hub for the Dallas metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable VFR conditions 83.9% of the time, with minimal periods of restricted visibility. The airport experiences consistent southerly winds averaging 7.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Temperature ranges from -4°C to 35°C, with September, October, and November offering the most stable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
Situated at 487 feet mean sea level, Dallas Love Field presents a relatively flat terrain profile with minimal elevation challenges. The airport's three runways offer flexible operational capabilities, with two long concrete runways (13L/31R and 13R/31L) exceeding 7,700 feet in length. All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with consistently low average crosswind components.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should consider the prevailing southerly wind patterns, which strongly favor runways aligned in the 13/31 and 18/36 directions. The longest runways (13L/31R and 13R/31L) provide excellent landing options with consistent wind conditions and minimal crosswind interference. Pilots can anticipate high visibility conditions, with an average visibility of 9.7 statute miles and rare occurrences of restricted visibility.
