KCBE by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KCBE reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 277 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 11% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 7% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 29 had the best headwind 39% of the time, runway 05 26%, and winds were calm 42% 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 12 days a year. From December to February KCBE was IFR or worse 10% of the time, against 8% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 26 days a year, and fog or mist on 74. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 6% of hours, against 2% in April.
Field elevation is 758 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,372 ft, 1,614 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 14% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 54 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and September the calmest.
