About East Texas Regional Airport
Overview
East Texas Regional Airport serves the Longview metropolitan area as a medium-sized airport located in eastern Texas. Situated at 365 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 32.383999, -94.711502, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Its two substantial runways support diverse aviation operations, with the primary runway 13/31 offering an impressive 10,000-foot asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable flying conditions, with VFR conditions present 72.6% of the time. The airport experiences mild temperature variations, averaging 16.2°C with a range from -6°C to 35°C. September through November offer the most consistent VFR weather, while wind conditions are generally moderate, with a prevailing southerly wind at an average of 6.7 knots and calm periods occurring 22.6% of the time.
Notable Features
Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage for both 13/31 and 18/36. The primary runway 13/31 features minimal average crosswind at 4.3 knots, while runway 18/36 shows an even lower 3.3-knot average crosswind. Visibility remains strong, with an average of 9.8 statute miles and infrequent low visibility events (below 3SM occurring only 1.3% of the time).
Approach Considerations
Given the prevailing southerly winds, pilots should anticipate potential approaches on the south-facing runways. The extensive 10,000-foot primary runway provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Minimal fog (1% occurrence) and consistently good visibility make this airport relatively predictable for instrument and visual approaches.
