KTOR by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KTOR reported VFR in 90% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 313 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 7% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 2% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 28 had the best headwind 41% of the time, runway 10 32%, and winds were calm 13% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 44 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KTOR was IFR or worse 6% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 44 days a year. 69% of storm hours fall in May, June and July, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 4,207 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 6,828 ft, 2,621 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 19% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 160 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and September the calmest.
