Current pilot readout for KGYI
KGYI is currently VFR with winds from 160° at 10 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. the wind favors south-facing runway ends (18L, 18R). Density altitude is approximately 1,000 ft (field elevation 749 ft). KGYI does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KDUA, about 19 nm away.
KGYI by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KGYI reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 274 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 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the south-facing ends (18L, 18R) had the best headwind 65% of the time, the north-facing ends (36L, 36R) 35%, and winds were calm 11% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 54 days a year. 44% of storm hours fall in April, May and August, peaking in May when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Field elevation is 749 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,062 ft, 2,313 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 21% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 54 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and September the calmest.
