KGPM by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KGPM reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 246 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 12% 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 18 had the best headwind 67% of the time, runway 36 34%, and winds were calm 16% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Seasonal hazards are rare at KGPM: thunderstorms on about 2 days a year, fog on 11 and snow on 1. Wind is the main variable, with gusts in 23% of hours.
Field elevation is 590 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,943 ft, 2,353 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 23% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and September the calmest.
