Current pilot readout for K00V

K00V is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately 8,200 ft (field elevation 6,878 ft). K00V does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KCOS, about 10 nm away.

K00V by the numbers

What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.

89%

of daylight hours VFR, 2006 to 2025

K00V reported VFR in 89% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 308 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).

snow days a year

Snow fell on about 59 days a year. From December to February K00V was IFR or worse 8% of the time, against 3% from June to August.

thunderstorm days a year

Thunderstorms were reported on about 71 days a year.

9,421 ft

typical summer-afternoon density altitude

Field elevation is 6,878 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 9,421 ft, 2,543 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

30%

of hours with gusts

Gusts showed up in 30% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 90 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and August the calmest.

Runway wind check

Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.

Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
