KAQO by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KAQO reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 289 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 9% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 4% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 13 had the best headwind 34% of the time, runway 17 33%, and winds were calm 37% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 64 days a year. 47% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in May when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 20 days a year, and fog or mist on 97. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 7% of hours, against 1% in August.
Field elevation is 1,102 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,671 ft, 2,569 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 16% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 55 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and September the calmest.
