KRBD by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KRBD reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 278 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February 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 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 17 had the best headwind 40% of the time, runway 13 28%, and winds were calm 12% 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 43 days a year. 46% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in May when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 20 days a year, and fog or mist on 101. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 12% of hours, against 1% in July.
Field elevation is 660 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,053 ft, 2,393 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 22% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 62 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and September the calmest.
