Runway at a Glance

Limited Traffic Observed

SkyMeter has observed very few flights using Runway 09 in the last 30 days. Statistical breakdowns (go-around rate, crosswind averages) need more observations to be meaningful.

Prevailing Wind & Gust History

Over the past 365 days, winds at SVJC have prevailed from the east (90°), accounting for roughly 89% of windy observations. Average wind speed sits at 12.3 kt with peak gusts to 30 kt. Strong winds (≥20 kt) occur on about 10% of observations — pilots flying into runway 09 should plan for occasional gusty conditions.

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.

CAT I

Decision Height: 200 ft

Visibility: 550m

CAT II

Decision Height: 100 ft

Visibility: 300m

CAT III

Decision Height: 0-50 ft

Visibility: 0-200m

Visual

Clear of Clouds

Visibility: 5 km

Wind and Environmental Factors

Wind conditions directly impact runway operations, influencing approach difficulty, landing performance, and runway selection. Runway 09 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.
