About Westchester County Airport

Overview

Westchester County Airport serves the greater New York metropolitan area, located in White Plains, NY. As a medium-sized airport situated at 439 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical general aviation and regional commercial services. Its strategic location and dual runway configuration make it an important transportation hub for Westchester County and surrounding regions.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KHPN are predominantly VFR, with 84.4% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Pilots can expect westerly winds averaging 8.3 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 28 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -12°C to 29°C, which can impact aircraft performance and fuel considerations.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 11/29 at 4,451 feet and Runway 16/34 at 6,548 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 3.8 and 5.2 knots respectively. The geographical coordinates (41.067001, -73.707603) position the airport in a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the New York metropolitan region.

Approach Considerations

November, September, and December represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. With an average visibility of 9.4 statute miles and only 3.2% of observations reporting fog, approaches are generally straightforward. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility conditions, which occur in approximately 2.3% of observations with visibility below 3 statute miles.
