KAOH by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KAOH reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 233 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 19% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 7% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 28 had the best headwind 61% of the time, runway 10 39%, and winds were calm 10% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 2% of hours.
Snow fell on about 47 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 6. From December to February KAOH was IFR or worse 17% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 43 days a year. 56% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 975 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,514 ft, 1,539 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 15% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 70 kt. January is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and August the calmest.
