KPDT by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KPDT reported VFR in 91% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 301 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 23% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 3% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 11 had the best headwind 34% of the time, runway 26 33%, and winds were calm 15% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 21 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 6. From December to February KPDT was IFR or worse 19% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 37 days a year, and fog or mist on 87. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 23% of hours, against 0% in July.
Field elevation is 1,494 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,506 ft, 2,012 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 12% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 70 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and January the calmest.
