KPDK by the numbers

What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.

FAA ground stops and delay programs, last 12 months

78%

of daylight hours VFR, 2006 to 2025

KPDK reported VFR in 78% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 263 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 17% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).

45%

of windy hours favor runway 34

Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 34 had the best headwind 45% of the time, the south-facing ends (21L, 21R) 26%, and winds were calm 40% of hours. Winds most often blow from the northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.

thunderstorm days a year

Thunderstorms were reported on about 57 days a year. 62% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.

fog days a year

Fog was reported on about 26 days a year, and fog or mist on 165. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 16% of hours, against 6% in June.

2,915 ft

typical summer-afternoon density altitude

Field elevation is 998 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,915 ft, 1,917 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 variable at 4 kt: light and variable wind like this is generally not a factor for runway selection, and with no steady direction there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
