KBYY by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KBYY reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 232 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 24% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 13 had the best headwind 71% of the time, runway 31 29%, and winds were calm 20% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 60 days a year, and fog or mist on 210. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 18% of hours, against 5% in August.
Field elevation is 45 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,072 ft, 2,027 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 16% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 56 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and August the calmest.
