Palomar RC Flyers - Johnson Field | RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Fallbrook, CA, decoded from the nearest reporting station KNFG, 10.3 nm away: wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

Runway winds & crosswind
Pre-filled with runway 06/24, confirmed by the club. Adjust it if you fly different numbers and we'll remember your change on this device.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 06 | ~670 ft | Asphalt | - | - |
| 24 | ~670 ft | Asphalt | - | - |
Runway numbers are magnetic while reported winds are true north. Treat components as approximate for RC field use. This field's runway is club-verified, so the live crosswind meter above computes off the confirmed orientation.
