JSCRCC - Johnson Space Center R/C Club 1 — RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Houston, TX, decoded from the nearest reporting station KEFD, 4.4 nm away — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

The club describes a asphalt flying surface. The runway orientation (11/29) was measured from public aerial imagery and drives the live crosswind meter on this page. Its FAA fixed-site agreement altitude is 400 ft AGL — an agreement value, not an airspace clearance. 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
