KAGS by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 3 ground stops and 3 ground delay programs for AGS between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 4 days. Traffic volume was the most common reason (2 of 6). A typical ground stop lasted about 1 h 5 min.
KAGS reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 282 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December 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 26 had the best headwind 30% of the time, runway 17 26%, and winds were calm 37% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 61 days a year. 67% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
AGS departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 78% of the time across 1,900 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (89%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (58%).
Fog was reported on about 88 days a year, and fog or mist on 223. September and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 15% of hours, against 9% in June.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 08 | 6,001 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 17 | 8,001 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 26 | 6,001 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.
