KDIK 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 DIK in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from DIK's own airspace.
KDIK reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 268 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and March the least, with IFR or worse 16% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 6% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 25 had the best headwind 31% of the time, runway 14 29%, and winds were calm 5% 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 68 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 4. From December to February KDIK was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 33 days a year. 75% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 2,592 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 4,444 ft, 1,852 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
