Current pilot readout for KASL
KASL is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately 350 ft (field elevation 357 ft). KASL does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KGGG, about 22 nm away.
KASL by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KASL reported VFR in 79% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 270 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 19% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 9% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 31% of the time, runway 15 30%, and winds were calm 44% 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 10 days a year. 56% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in April when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 357 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,435 ft, 2,078 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 40% of the time and averaged 3.7 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and September the calmest.

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.

| 15 | 5,002 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.
