KFDY by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KFDY reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 238 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January 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 5% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 25 had the best headwind 36% of the time, runway 18 30%, and winds were calm 9% 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 47 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 5. From December to February KFDY was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 38 days a year. 58% 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 813 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,400 ft, 1,587 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 13% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 94 kt. January is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and August the calmest.
