KPYX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KPYX reported VFR in 89% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 314 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 9% 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 17 had the best headwind 42% of the time, runway 35 22%, and winds were calm 5% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Seasonal hazards are rare at KPYX: thunderstorms on about 0 days a year, fog on 0 and snow on 0. Wind is the main variable, with gusts in 26% of hours.
Field elevation is 2,918 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 5,615 ft, 2,697 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 26% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 65 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 12 kt) and August the calmest.
Sources: hourly observations 2006 to 2025 and the per-runway wind climatology 2006 to 2025. Historical summaries, not a forecast: check the current METAR, TAF and a briefing before flight.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.

| 17 | 5,701 ft | ASP | - | - |

“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.
