KGDJ by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KGDJ reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 289 flyable days a year. August 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 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 19 had the best headwind 67% of the time, runway 01 33%, and winds were calm 20% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 66 days a year. 43% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in May when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
Field elevation is 835 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,367 ft, 2,532 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 20% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 58 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and September the calmest.
