PASI by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for SIT in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from SIT's own airspace.
PASI reported VFR in 70% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 209 flyable days a year. April is the most reliable month and July the least, with IFR or worse 10% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 4% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 11 had the best headwind 69% of the time, runway 29 31%, and winds were calm 18% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east-southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 44 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 0. From December to February PASI was IFR or worse 5% of the time, against 9% from June to August.
SIT departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 81% of the time across 1,333 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (94%) and noon to 3 PM did worst (49%).
Fog was reported on about 21 days a year, and fog or mist on 199. July and August are the foggiest months, with fog in 16% of hours, against 6% in April.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | 7,200 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 29 | 7,200 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.
