KTCC by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KTCC reported VFR in 93% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 330 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 5% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 1% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 21 had the best headwind 43% of the time, runway 26 26%, and winds were calm 11% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 47 days a year. 69% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Snow fell on about 15 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KTCC was IFR or worse 4% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Field elevation is 4,065 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 7,096 ft, 3,031 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 20% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 72 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 11 kt) and August the calmest.
