Runway 10 at KN71
Runway 10/28 at Donegal Springs Airpark (KN71) in Mount Joy/Marietta is a 3,250 ft, lighted, asphalt runway oriented 085°/265°. The runway is 50 ft wide, with a 390 ft displaced threshold on the 10 end. SkyMeter has observed 37 landings and 68 departures on this runway over the last 30 days, with approximately 0.0% of arrivals resulting in a go-around. Trace data shows an average final-approach slope of 4.9°, touchdowns averaging 4,353 ft past the threshold, a typical touchdown ground speed of 83 kt, a 2.9 kt average crosswind component, a 2.2 kt average headwind.

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 10 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.
