KXBP by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KXBP reported VFR in 85% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 295 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 10% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 4% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 67% of the time, runway 36 33%, and winds were calm 23% 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 72 days a year. 45% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in May when storms were in the air 5% of the time.
Snow fell on about 5 days a year. From December to February KXBP was IFR or worse 9% of the time, against 2% from June to August.
Field elevation is 864 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,241 ft, 2,377 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 20% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 46 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and September the calmest.
