KAGC by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KAGC reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 234 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 15% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 6% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 28 had the best headwind 36% of the time, runway 13 32%, and winds were calm 16% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 51 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 4. From December to February KAGC was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 6% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 49 days a year, and fog or mist on 189. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 15% of hours, against 7% in April.
Field elevation is 1,251 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,782 ft, 1,531 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 17% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 60 kt. January is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and August the calmest.
