KJDN by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KJDN reported VFR in 0% of daylight observations over 20 years. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 100% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 0%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 29 had the best headwind 68% of the time, runway 11 32%, and winds were calm 18% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Seasonal hazards are rare at KJDN: thunderstorms on about 0 days a year, fog on 0 and snow on 0. Wind is the main variable, with gusts in 13% of hours.
Field elevation is 2,667 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 4,819 ft, 2,152 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 82 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and December the calmest.
