KOZA by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KOZA reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 297 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 14% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 16 had the best headwind 70% of the time, runway 34 30%, and winds were calm 19% 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 45 days a year. 48% of storm hours fall in May, June and August, peaking in May when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 7 days a year. From December to February KOZA was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
Field elevation is 2,377 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 5,085 ft, 2,708 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 34% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 61 kt. June is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and December the calmest.
