KBPK by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KBPK reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 256 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 low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 58% of the time, runway 05 42%, and winds were calm 39% 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 60 days a year. 46% of storm hours fall in April, May and July, peaking in May when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 39 days a year, and fog or mist on 157. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 7% in June.
Field elevation is 928 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,827 ft, 1,899 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 25% of the time and averaged 4.2 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and July the calmest.
