About Rawlins Municipal Airport/Harvey Field
Overview
Rawlins Municipal Airport serves aviation needs in Carbon County, Wyoming, situated at a high elevation of 6,813 feet MSL. The airport features two asphalt runways capable of accommodating various general aviation aircraft, with significant utility for regional transportation and local flying operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Rawlins are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 84.8% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Pilots can expect southwest winds averaging 13.3 knots, with temperature variations ranging from -19°C to 28°C. Autumn months (September through November) consistently offer the most stable flying weather, with minimal meteorological restrictions.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation at 6,813 feet requires careful performance planning for aircraft operations. Both runways (04/22 and 10/28) offer full utility, with 04/22 providing a substantial 7,008-foot length and 10/28 offering 4,118 feet of runway. Wind data indicates consistently predictable wind patterns, with 100% favorable wind alignments for both primary runways.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection should prioritize Runway 04/22, which demonstrates minimal average crosswind of 4.3 knots compared to Runway 10/28's 9.9-knot crosswind. Visibility averages 9.6 statute miles, with only 1.7% of observations reporting visibility below 3 statute miles. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variability and prepare for high-altitude performance considerations during approach and landing.
