Peak Hour
Busiest landing window observed at 13:00 with 15 arrivals on the recent sample.
Average Touchdown Zone
Aircraft touch down on average 968 ft from the threshold on Runway 19R.
Prevailing Wind & Gust History
Over the past 365 days, winds at RJCC have prevailed from the south-southeast (150°), accounting for roughly 29% of windy observations. Average wind speed sits at 8.4 kt with peak gusts to 45 kt. Strong-wind days are infrequent here.
Light Crosswind Component
Average crosswind on landing is 3.4 kt at touchdown, measured against runway 19R alignment.
Approach Slope
Final-approach slope averages 3.0° on Runway 19R, consistent with the standard 3° glide path.
Landing Behavior and Touchdown Performance
The metrics below are computed from ADS-B trace data observed at Runway 19R 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 19R 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.
