KBVX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KBVX reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 261 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% 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 18 had the best headwind 34% of the time, runway 26 28%, and winds were calm 28% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 0% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 61 days a year. 46% of storm hours fall in April, May and July, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 465 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,422 ft, 1,957 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 10% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 51 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and September the calmest.
