Regional Aviation Context

Wyoming's high-elevation airports and mountain terrain demand conservative performance planning. Wind is a near-constant factor. The state's low population makes GA a practical necessity.

Operational Considerations

Miley Memorial Field sits at 6,990 feet MSL, placing it firmly in the high-altitude operations category. On a standard day (15°C at sea level, decreasing 2°C per 1,000 feet), density altitude equals field elevation. On a hot summer afternoon at 35°C, density altitude at Miley Memorial Field approaches 8,790 feet. That means aircraft performance — takeoff roll, climb rate, engine power — degrades to match a runway at 8,790 feet, not 6,990 feet. The 6,803-foot runway provides roughly 5,376 feet of sea-level equivalent performance under those conditions. Normally aspirated engines lose approximately 3% power per 1,000 feet of density altitude; at Miley Memorial Field, that compounds to a 21% power deficit on a standard day.

Miley Memorial Field's temperate latitude produces generally favorable flying conditions with seasonal variation. Winter brings frontal passages that can drop ceilings to IFR minimums for 24-48 hour periods. Freezing precipitation is possible but less persistent than at higher latitudes. Summer convective activity peaks in late afternoon — morning departures typically encounter smoother, clearer conditions. Year-round instrument currency is recommended for reliable scheduling.

Two runways at Miley Memorial Field provide crosswind flexibility. When the primary runway's crosswind component exceeds aircraft limitations, the secondary runway typically offers a more favorable alignment. Runway selection should account for wind, obstacle clearance, and any published procedures.
