KAUN by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KAUN reported VFR in 90% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 303 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 15% 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 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 07 had the best headwind 60% of the time, runway 25 41%, and winds were calm 30% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Seasonal hazards are rare at KAUN: thunderstorms on about 0 days a year, fog on 8 and snow on 0. Wind is the main variable, with gusts in 6% of hours.
Field elevation is 1,538 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,828 ft, 2,290 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 27% of the time and averaged 4.3 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and November 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.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“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.
