Current pilot readout for KAFP
KAFP is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately -800 ft (field elevation 300 ft). KAFP does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KCLT, about 44 nm away.
KAFP by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KAFP reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 278 flyable days a year. April is the most reliable month and August the least, with IFR or worse 9% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 16 had the best headwind 52% of the time, runway 34 48%, and winds were calm 51% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 49 days a year, and fog or mist on 175. August and September are the foggiest months, with fog in 14% of hours, against 4% in April.
Field elevation is 300 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,166 ft, 1,866 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 49% of the time and averaged 2.9 kt overall. April is the windiest month (mean 4 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.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“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.
