Runways of KPHK
| Threshold | Course | Length | Width | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17 | 170° | 1,255 m (4,116 ft) | 23 m (75 ft) | asphalt |
| 35 | 350° |
The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
Runway headings and wind
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 17/35 on 170° and 350° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 17/35 axis, wind from the west (around 260°) or from the east (around 80°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 170° or 350° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
METAR and TAF for KPHK
Weather reports for Palm Beach County Glades Airport (Pahokee) are published under the ICAO code KPHK. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the KPHK report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for KPHK, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The America/New_York zone is GMT-05:00 in winter and GMT-04:00 in summer - that is the shift to apply to the time in the report to get local time at the airport.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Okeechobee County Airport (KOBE, 55 km), President Donald J. Trump International Airport (West Palm Beach) (KDJT, 60 km), Palm Beach County Park Airport (West Palm Beach) (KLNA, 64 km). When no report is available for KPHK, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
