KCDC by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for CDC in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from CDC's own airspace.
KCDC reported VFR in 96% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 337 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 4% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 1% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 50% of the time, runway 02 25%, and winds were calm 25% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 38 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 0. From December to February KCDC was IFR or worse 4% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 40 days a year. 79% of storm hours fall in July, August and September, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Field elevation is 5,622 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 8,556 ft, 2,934 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
