KACP by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KACP reported VFR in 72% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 236 flyable days a year. October is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 20% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 13% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 55% of the time, runway 36 46%, and winds were calm 54% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 80 days a year. 44% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 76 days a year, and fog or mist on 245. August and September are the foggiest months, with fog in 19% of hours, against 8% in January.
Field elevation is 107 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,088 ft, 1,981 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 53% of the time and averaged 2.7 kt overall. February is the windiest month (mean 4 kt) and July 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.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | 5,000 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 36 | 5,000 ft | ASP | - | - |

“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.
