Operational Considerations

Glen Ullin Regional Airport's 2,089-foot field elevation keeps density altitude effects manageable. Even on warm days, density altitude here tops out around 3,889 feet — within normal performance parameters for most aircraft. The 3,799-foot runway provides approximately 3,561 feet of effective sea-level performance.

Four distinct seasons define operations at Glen Ullin Regional Airport. Winter brings icing potential, snow-covered surfaces, and reduced daylight hours. De-icing capability is valuable from November through March. Spring and fall transitions produce the most variable weather — warm fronts, cold fronts, and rapid ceiling changes.
