KGNV 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 GNV in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from GNV's own airspace.
KGNV reported VFR in 86% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 284 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 16% 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 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 07 had the best headwind 29% of the time, runway 25 25%, and winds were calm 30% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 75 days a year. 65% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
GNV departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 85% of the time across 2,785 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (92%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (76%).
Fog was reported on about 63 days a year, and fog or mist on 190. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 11% of hours, against 5% in July.

“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.
