KAPF by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 2 ground stops and 4 ground delay programs for APF between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 6 days. Traffic volume was the most common reason (5 of 6). A typical ground stop lasted about 1 h 15 min.
KAPF reported VFR in 92% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 303 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 6% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 2% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 05 had the best headwind 43% of the time, runway 14 23%, and winds were calm 14% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east-northeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 98 days a year. 70% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 6% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 24 days a year, and fog or mist on 113. January and February are the foggiest months, with fog in 6% of hours, against 2% in October.
Field elevation is 8 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,828 ft, 1,820 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
