Operational Considerations

Alexander Salamon Airport's 896-foot field elevation keeps density altitude effects manageable. Even on warm days, density altitude here tops out around 2,696 feet — within normal performance parameters for most aircraft. The 3,558-foot runway provides approximately 3,462 feet of effective sea-level performance.

Alexander Salamon Airport's temperate latitude produces generally favorable flying conditions with seasonal variation.
