KLND by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KLND reported VFR in 92% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 322 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and April the least, with IFR or worse 6% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 3% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 22 had the best headwind 59% of the time, runway 04 41%, and winds were calm 30% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 2% of hours.
Snow fell on about 45 days a year. From December to February KLND was IFR or worse 6% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 35 days a year. 74% 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 5,589 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 8,279 ft, 2,690 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 21% of the time and averaged 5.4 kt overall. June is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and January the calmest.

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
