Local Pilot Information Unique to Riverton Airport
Hazards: Scheduled airline traffic, uncontrolled airport, seasonal hot Air balloons.
Weather (summer/ winter): Very low humidity year-round, chance of afternoon summer thunderstorms, but they are usually easy to get around and avoid. Marginal weather normally associated with frontal passage.
Winds: Strongest in the winter but can be gusty during the fall and early spring. Windshear common at and below pattern altitude, expect "sinker" near approach end of RWY 28 with winds greater than 25 knots from the west-northwest.
Density altitude: Density altitude in the summer can reach 8,500 feet.
Summer flying precautions: Allow enough fuel for afternoon thunderstorm delays, high-density altitudes and watch gross weight. Use caution for hot air balloons over the city and mowing equipment in safety areas along runways.
Winter flying precautions: Gusty crosswinds, rapid changes in weather, icing conditions, watch for snow removal equipment on runway.
Previous accident/ incidents resulting from poor pilot judgment: Landing mishaps caused by gusty crosswinds; running out of fuel on short final; aircraft icing on take-off; power lines near airport.
Comments to pilots flying in and out of this airport for the first time: Relatively easy airport to fly in and out of with the proper respect for high winds, winter weather and density altitude. This is a non-tower airport so use the radio and make traffic pattern calls. Also listen to the radio! If not familiar with high-altitude flying, transient pilots are encouraged to at least talk to the local pilots/FBO.
