KBPI by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KBPI reported VFR in 95% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 325 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 8% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 2% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 32 had the best headwind 41% of the time, runway 08 23%, and winds were calm 26% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north-northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 65 days a year. From December to February KBPI was IFR or worse 7% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 32 days a year. 67% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 6,994 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 9,497 ft, 2,503 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 11% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 59 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and December the calmest.
