Overview

Lumberton Regional Airport (KLBT) serves the Lumberton area in the United States, situated at an elevation of 126 feet MSL. The airport features three asphalt runways ranging from 4,974 to 5,510 feet in length, supporting various aviation operations for the region.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KLBT demonstrate predominantly visual flight rules (VFR) operations, with 75.4% of observations in VFR conditions. Temperature ranges from -8°C to 34°C, with average visibility of 9.2 statute miles. Pilots can expect the most consistent VFR conditions during November, January, and October.

Notable Features

The airport's three runways (01/19, 05/23, and 13/31) provide flexibility for aircraft operations across different wind directions. Wind patterns are characterized by a northerly prevailing direction at an average of 7.3 knots, with calm conditions occurring 26% of the time. Each runway demonstrates 100% favorable wind coverage with minimal average crosswind components.

Approach Considerations

All three runways offer consistent wind alignment, with average crosswind components between 3.8 and 5.5 knots. Pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility, as 2.5% of observations show visibility below 3 statute miles, with light fog present in 2% of reports. The airport's moderate elevation and multiple runway options provide good approach flexibility.
