KEHA by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KEHA reported VFR in 88% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 313 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 10% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 17 had the best headwind 37% of the time, runway 22 25%, and winds were calm 4% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 10 days a year. From December to February KEHA was IFR or worse 8% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Field elevation is 3,622 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 6,384 ft, 2,762 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
