KAGC by the numbers

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

75%

of daylight hours VFR, 2006 to 2025

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%).

36%

of windy hours favor runway 28

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 days a year

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 days a year

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.

2,782 ft

typical summer-afternoon density altitude

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.

17%

of hours with gusts

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.

“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.
