Current pilot readout for KVPC
KVPC is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately 1,600 ft (field elevation 759 ft). KVPC does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KRYY, about 14 nm away.
KVPC by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KVPC reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 267 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 19 had the best headwind 56% of the time, runway 01 44%, and winds were calm 68% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 58 days a year. 59% 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 33 days a year, and fog or mist on 180. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 5% in April.
Field elevation is 759 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,630 ft, 1,871 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 50% of the time and averaged 2.6 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 4 kt) and July the calmest.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind 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 |

“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.
