Runway at a Glance
Arrival Volume
37 landings observed on Runway 13 in the last 30 days, alongside 52 departures.
Peak Hour
Busiest landing window observed at 10:00 with 30 arrivals on the recent sample.
Average Touchdown Zone
Aircraft touch down on average 3,901 ft from the threshold on Runway 13.
Prevailing Wind & Gust History
Over the past 365 days, winds at EGOV have prevailed from the south (180°), accounting for roughly 17% of windy observations. Average wind speed sits at 12.5 kt with peak gusts to 62 kt. Strong winds (≥20 kt) occur on about 16% of observations — pilots flying into runway 13 should plan for occasional gusty conditions.
Strong Crosswind Component
Average crosswind on landing is 12.1 kt at touchdown, measured against runway 13 alignment.
Approach Slope
Final-approach slope averages 2.1° on Runway 13, shallower than the standard 3°.
Landing Behavior and Touchdown Performance
The metrics below are computed from ADS-B trace data observed at Runway 13 over the last 30 days. Each value is shown only when at least 10 valid samples were available; sparse cells are hidden rather than estimated.

Approach Types and Categories
Aircraft approach runways using different procedures based on weather conditions, visibility, and available navigation equipment. An Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach provides precision horizontal and vertical guidance using ground-based radio signals, enabling aircraft to land in low visibility conditions. Visual approaches require pilots to maintain visual contact with the runway and surrounding terrain, typically used during clear weather. Area Navigation (RNAV) approaches use GPS technology to guide aircraft along specific flight paths.
Approach Categories Explained
Category (CAT) classifications define minimum visibility and decision height requirements for instrument approaches. Higher categories enable operations in lower visibility conditions.
Wind and Environmental Factors
Wind conditions directly impact runway operations, influencing approach difficulty, landing performance, and runway selection. Runway 13 benefits from favorable wind alignment, with prevailing winds creating minimal crosswind components for most operations. Average wind speeds of 12 knots pose no operational constraints for commercial aircraft.
24-Hour Wind Pattern
Wind patterns show typical diurnal variation with stronger winds during midday hours.
