KJYO by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 1 ground stop and 0 ground delay programs for JYO between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 1 day. The reason was other or unspecified. The ground stop lasted about 1 h 40 min.
KJYO reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 289 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December 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 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 35 had the best headwind 60% of the time, runway 17 40%, and winds were calm 30% 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 57 days a year. 58% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 21 days a year. From December to February KJYO was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Field elevation is 389 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,092 ft, 1,703 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

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 |
