Runways of KXNI
| Threshold | Course | Length | Width | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 60° | 1,829 m (6,000 ft) | 23 m (75 ft) | asphalt |
| 24 | 240° |
The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
Runway headings and wind
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 6/24 on 60° and 240° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 6/24 axis, wind from the south-east (around 150°) or from the north-west (around 330°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 60° or 240° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
METAR and TAF for KXNI
Weather reports for Andrew Othole Memorial Airport (Zuni) are published under the ICAO code KXNI. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the KXNI report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for KXNI, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The America/Denver zone is GMT-07:00 in winter and GMT-06:00 in summer - that is the shift to apply to the time in the report to get local time at the airport.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Gallup Municipal Airport (KGUP, 52 km), Window Rock Airport (KRQE, 67 km), St Johns Industrial Air Park (KSJN, 73 km). When no report is available for KXNI, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
