About Venango Regional Airport
Overview
Venango Regional Airport serves Franklin, Pennsylvania as a medium-sized airport situated at 1540 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 41.377899, -79.860397, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northwestern Pennsylvania region. Its two asphalt runways offer flexibility for various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Venango Regional demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 52.8% of observations. Marginal VFR occurs 26.2% of the time, while instrument conditions (IFR and LIFR) combine for approximately 21% of recorded weather. Temperature ranges from -22°C to 29°C, with an average of 4.6°C, indicating substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: Runway 03/21 at 5200 feet and Runway 12/30 at 3698 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Prevailing winds consistently blow from the west (270°) at an average speed of 7.6 knots, with maximum recorded winds reaching 25 knots. Wind conditions are calm 12.6% of the time, which can impact flight planning and operations.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% wind favorability, with minimal average crosswind components (4.7kt for 03/21 and 5kt for 12/30). Visibility averages 8.3 statute miles, with occasional reduced conditions below 3 miles occurring 5.6% of the time and fog present in 4.9% of observations. September, October, and November represent the most consistent months for visual flight conditions.
