KFDR by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KFDR reported VFR in 89% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 303 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 7% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 3% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 12 had the best headwind 27% of the time, runway 03 15%, and winds were calm 6% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 49 days a year. 51% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in May when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 8 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 4. From December to February KFDR was IFR or worse 7% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
Field elevation is 1,258 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,935 ft, 2,677 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 15% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 72 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 11 kt) and September the calmest.

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
