KIPT by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KIPT reported VFR in 78% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 266 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 11% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 5% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 30 had the best headwind 35% of the time, runway 27 29%, and winds were calm 34% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 40 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 4. From December to February KIPT was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 7% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 33 days a year. 66% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 528 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,050 ft, 1,522 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 13% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 62 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and September the calmest.
