Ellensburg R/C Flyers - Bowers Field — RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Ellensburg, WA, decoded from KEAT, 25 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KELN has no current report — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

The club describes a asphalt flying surface. The site is an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA), where eligible members can fly without Remote ID broadcast equipment. 5 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.

POOR

Poor RC flying conditions

Most clubs stand down in this weather — high winds or active weather make control and landings risky.

Factors: gusting 28 kt.

Based on KEAT, 25 nm away — measured at the airport, not the field. This field's usual station KELN has no current report, so KEAT is the closest station reporting now.

⚠️ Weather shown is from the nearest full-scale reporting station, not measured at the field. Not for flight decisions — assess wind and sky conditions on site and follow the AMA Safety Code and your club's field rules.
