Operational Considerations

Windom Municipal Airport's 1,410-foot field elevation keeps density altitude effects manageable. Even on warm days, density altitude here tops out around 3,210 feet — within normal performance parameters for most aircraft. The 3,598-foot runway provides approximately 3,446 feet of effective sea-level performance.

Windom Municipal Airport'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.
