Current pilot readout for KGYB
KGYB is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately 950 ft (field elevation 484 ft). KGYB does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KAUS, about 35 nm away.
KGYB by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KGYB reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 269 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 19% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 9% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 17 had the best headwind 65% of the time, runway 35 35%, and winds were calm 27% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 35 days a year, and fog or mist on 174. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 12% of hours, against 4% in August.
Field elevation is 484 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,757 ft, 2,273 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 17% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 45 kt. February is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and September the calmest.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“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.
