KCPR 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 CPR in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from CPR's own airspace.
KCPR reported VFR in 90% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 314 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 8% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 2% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 21 had the best headwind 58% of the time, runway 03 17%, and winds were calm 10% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 69 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 1. From December to February KCPR was IFR or worse 7% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
CPR departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 83% of the time across 2,543 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (92%) and 3 to 6 PM did worst (71%).
Thunderstorms were reported on about 37 days a year. 73% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
