Current pilot readout for PAGN
PAGN is currently VFR with variable winds at 3 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately -1,900 ft (field elevation 0 ft). PAGN does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is PASI, about 37 nm away.
PAGN by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
PAGN reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 201 flyable days a year. May is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 9% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Snow fell on about 43 days a year. From December to February PAGN was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 9% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 45 days a year, and fog or mist on 190.
Winds were calm 55% of the time and averaged 2.5 kt overall. December is the windiest month (mean 4 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 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NW | 10,000 ft | WATER | - | - |
| SE | 10,000 ft | WATER | - | - |
