KAPF Runway 05/23 — Naples Municipal Airport
6,600 × 150 ft asphalt · true headings 044° / 224° · field elevation 8 ft
Runway 05/23 at Naples Municipal Airport (KAPF) in Naples, FL is 6,600 ft long and 150 ft wide, asphalt, with true headings 044° and 224°. Over 2005–2025 the wind gave runway 05 the headwind 65.4% of the time and runway 23 34.6%, with a crosswind above 15 kt in 0.7% of wind hours. KAPF has no digital ATIS, so the active runway is not known; the wind-favored end and the ATIS Alerts prediction are estimates.
Runway 05/23 — current status
CLOSURE STATUS NOT MONITORED- This airport has no D-ATIS broadcast, and runway NOTAM monitoring is not live yet. Check NOTAMs before flight.
Sources: FAA runway record (OurAirports). Runway NOTAM monitoring (closures, lighting, navaid outages) is scheduled for the next phase; until then this card reflects only the FAA runway record and the airport's own D-ATIS.
Current runway assignment is not available from D-ATIS at KAPF. The wind components below show which end the wind favors; the section after it is an ATIS Alerts prediction. Neither is an ATC assignment.

ATIS Alerts Predicted Runway is an estimate from the TAF wind forecast and runway geometry (most headwind, crosswind penalised, tailwind over 5 kt avoided, longest runway breaks ties). It is not an ATC assignment and does not know about noise abatement, traffic flow or construction unless the D-ATIS states them. TAF issued 1721Z (1:21 PM EDT).

Runway 05/23 numbers are magnetic; the stored geometry and every wind calculation on this page are TRUE north, so they never need a variation correction. Magnetic variation here is about 6.5°W (World Magnetic Model). Displaced thresholds, declared distances (TORA/TODA/ASDA/LDA), approach lighting, PAPI/VASI, ILS equipment and traffic-pattern direction are FAA NASR fields not yet loaded — they are omitted rather than guessed.

“Wind-favored” counts the hours this end had the most headwind of every open runway at KAPF — wind arithmetic, not an ATC assignment (parallel runways with the same heading share the credit equally). Recorded D-ATIS use, where available, is the section above.

Runway 05/23 closure history
Runway NOTAM history begins when the NOTAM feed goes live (next phase).
No closure history is recorded for this runway yet. KAPF has no D-ATIS, and runway NOTAM recording starts in the next phase; history accrues from that date forward.

Methodology and sources
- Active runwaysare read from the airport's D-ATIS text (community relay of the FAA broadcast) with an open, tested parser; the broadcast text is always shown. Every change is recorded, so “recorded use” is what the facility stated, never an inference.
- Wind components use the current METAR (aviationweather.gov) against TRUE runway headings from the OurAirports/FAA runway record.
- Predicted runway scores each open end from the TAF wind (headwind, crosswind penalty, tailwind avoidance, longest-runway tie-break); confidence falls with forecast distance, gusts and TAF age. It does not model noise abatement or flow programs.
- Climatology: Iowa Environmental Mesonet ASOS archive, one observation per hour, 45° wind sectors, percentiles via t-digest; runway geometry is today's record applied to all years. Methodology v1.
- Approaches: FAA d-TPP metafile, current charting cycle; plates link to aeronav.faa.gov. No minimums are reproduced.
- Data freshness: METAR and D-ATIS refresh every minute on this page; the D-ATIS recorder ran 1 min ago; climatology through 2025-12-31.

⚠️ ATIS Alerts provides informational runway analysis based on available weather, D-ATIS, FAA data and historical observations. Active runways shown here are read from D-ATIS text and may lag or be misread; predicted runways are an ATIS Alerts estimate, not an ATC assignment. Not for operational use. Always verify with official FAA-approved preflight weather sources before flight.
