Current pilot readout for KUZA
KUZA is currently VFR with variable winds at 5 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately 1,400 ft (field elevation 666 ft). KUZA does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KCLT, about 15 nm away.
KUZA by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KUZA reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 275 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 17% 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 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 60% of the time, runway 02 40%, and winds were calm 39% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 50 days a year. 66% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 55 days a year, and fog or mist on 198. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 17% of hours, against 9% in April.
Field elevation is 666 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,527 ft, 1,861 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 28% of the time and averaged 4.2 kt overall. April is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and August the calmest.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is variable at 5 kt: light and variable wind like this is generally not a factor for runway selection, and with no steady direction there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 02 | 5,500 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 20 | 5,500 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.
