Redding Regional Airport covers 1,584 acres (641 ha) and has two asphalt runways: 16/34, 7,003 x 150 ft (2,135 x 46 m) and 12/30, 5,067 x 150 ft (1,544 x 46 m). [1]In 12 months through December 31, 2022, the airport had 60,902 aircraft operations, average 167 per day: 63% general aviation, 33% air taxi, 3% scheduled commercial and 1% military.
Benton Field [3] (IATA: BZF, FAA LID: O85), also known as Benton Airpark, [4] [5] is a city-owned public-use airport located one mile (1.6 km) west of the central business district of Redding, a city in Shasta County, California, United States. [3] It is one of two airports located in the City of Redding, the other being Redding Municipal ...
A low-level windshear alert system (LLWAS) measures average surface wind speed and direction using a network of remote sensor stations, situated near runways and along approach or departure corridors at an airport. Wind shear is the generic term for wind differences over an operationally short distance (in relation to flight) which encompass ...

Finally, in August 1985, wind shear and inadequate reactions by the pilots caused the crash of Delta Air Lines Flight 191 on approach to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in a thunderstorm. On July 24, 1986, the FAA and NASA signed a memorandum of agreement to formally begin the Airborne Wind-Shear Detection and Avoidance Program (AWDAP).

The fastest wind speed not related to tornadoes ever recorded was during the passage of Tropical Cyclone Olivia on 10 April 1996: an automatic weather station on Barrow Island, Australia, registered a maximum wind gust of 113.3 m/s (408 km/h; 253 mph; 220.2 kn; 372 ft/s) [6] [7] The wind gust was evaluated by the WMO Evaluation Panel, who found ...
A majority of older automated airport weather stations are equipped with a mechanical wind vane and cup system to measure wind speed and direction. This system is simple in design: the wind spins three horizontally turned cups around the base of the wind vane, providing an estimation of the wind's speed, while the vane on top turns so that the ...
