KHFJ by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KHFJ reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 267 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 15% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 66% of the time, runway 36 34%, and winds were calm 15% 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 60 days a year. 46% of storm hours fall in April, May and August, peaking in May when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Snow fell on about 14 days a year. From December to February KHFJ was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Field elevation is 1,316 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,231 ft, 1,915 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 18% 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 July the calmest.
