KMAI by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMAI reported VFR in 85% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 283 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 08 had the best headwind 27% of the time, runway 18 27%, and winds were calm 32% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 78 days a year. 59% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 42 days a year, and fog or mist on 140. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 9% of hours, against 3% in July.
Field elevation is 111 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,008 ft, 1,897 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 26% of the time and averaged 4.8 kt overall. February is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and July the calmest.
