Runways at KLCG
According to OurAirports data (compiled from AIP and FAA sources), Wayne Municipal Airport / Stan Morris Field has 3 runways: 05/23 - 1,038 m long (3,406 ft), 18 m wide, asphalt surface; 13/31 - 631 m long (2,070 ft), 37 m wide, grass surface; 18/36 - 1,280 m long (4,201 ft), 23 m wide, asphalt surface.
The longest of them is 18/36, at 1,280 m.
The airport combines paved and grass surfaces: 2 paved and 1 grass runways.
Runway headings and wind
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 05/23 on 50° and 230° magnetic, 13/31 on 130° and 310° magnetic, 18/36 on 180° and 360° 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 05/23 axis, wind from the south-east (around 140°) or from the north-west (around 320°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 50° or 230° 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 KLCG
Weather reports for Wayne Municipal Airport / Stan Morris Field are published under the ICAO code KLCG. 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 KLCG 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 KLCG, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The America/Chicago zone is GMT-06:00 in winter and GMT-05:00 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 Karl Stefan Memorial Airport (Norfolk) (KOFK, 47 km), Sioux Gateway Airport / Brigadier General Bud Day Field (Sioux City) (KSUX, 52 km), Harold Davidson Field (Vermillion) (KVMR, 58 km). When no report is available for KLCG, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
