KTBN by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KTBN reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 256 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 15% 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 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 15 had the best headwind 59% of the time, runway 33 41%, and winds were calm 16% 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 47 days a year. 49% 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 19 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 8. From December to February KTBN was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Field elevation is 1,159 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,024 ft, 1,865 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 13% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 56 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and July the calmest.
