Plattsburgh Radio Aeromodelers - Rooney Rd | RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in West Chazy, NY, decoded from KFSO, 21 nm away, the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KPBG has no current report: wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.
The club describes a grass flying surface. The runway orientation (17/35) is confirmed by the club and drives the live crosswind meter on this page. The site is an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA), where eligible members can fly without Remote ID broadcast equipment. Published field hours: 9 a.m. to until dusk. 3 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
Great flying weather
Light air suits every model, including park flyers, light foamies, and micro indoor-style aircraft outdoors.
Based on KFSO, 21 nm away. Measured at the airport, not the field. This field's usual station KPBG has no current report, so KFSO 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.

No terminal forecast (TAF) is available near this field right now: some stations (especially military fields) only issue TAFs part-time.
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.
