About Kenosha Regional Airport

Overview

Kenosha Regional Airport serves southeastern Wisconsin as a medium-sized airport located near the city of Kenosha. Situated at 742 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region with three concrete runways accommodating various aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 77.7% of the time, with moderate visibility averaging 28.8 statute miles. Temperature ranges from -21°C to 31°C, with western winds prevailing at an average of 9.1 knots, creating generally stable flight conditions. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways with different orientations, providing flexibility for wind conditions and aircraft types. Runway 07L/25R is the longest at 6,600 feet of concrete surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff options. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment with minimal average crosswind between 5-6.3 knots.

Approach Considerations

With consistent western prevailing winds, pilots can anticipate predictable approach conditions across all runways. The long primary runway (07L/25R) provides optimal landing opportunities, particularly during winds matching its orientation. Low IFR conditions occur infrequently at only 6.3% of observations, suggesting generally reliable visual approach potential.
