KBNO by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KBNO reported VFR in 93% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 312 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 3% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 21 had the best headwind 37% of the time, runway 30 32%, and winds were calm 25% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 50 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KBNO was IFR or worse 10% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 35 days a year, and fog or mist on 84. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 11% of hours, against under 1% in July.
Field elevation is 4,148 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 6,615 ft, 2,467 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
