Weather Briefing
VFRMiley Memorial Field is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 7 knots with gusts to 24 knots. The significant gust spread of 17 knots may cause challenging turbulence on approach. Runway 31 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component (gusting to 8 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of -13°C, indicating very dry conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 6 to 19 knots.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Miley Memorial Field
Overview
Miley Memorial Field serves Big Piney, Wyoming as a medium-sized airport situated at a high elevation of 6,990 feet MSL. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in a remote mountain region, supporting local transportation needs with two runways accommodating different aircraft types and operational requirements.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 88.8% of observations showing favorable visual flight rules. The airport experiences significant temperature variation, ranging from -19°C to 26°C, with an average temperature of 1.4°C. September through November offer the most consistent VFR weather, with relatively stable wind conditions averaging 7.3 knots from a northerly direction.
Notable Features
Located at a high elevation of 6,990 feet, Miley Memorial Field presents unique challenges for aircraft performance and altitude-related operations. The airport features two distinct runways: a 3,300-foot grass runway (08/26) and a longer 6,803-foot asphalt runway (13/31), providing flexibility for different aircraft types and operational needs. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Wind data indicates northerly prevailing winds with 21.3% calm periods, which allows pilots flexibility in runway selection. The 13/31 runway, being longer and paved, is likely preferred for most aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and be prepared for high-altitude airport characteristics, with careful attention to aircraft performance calculations given the elevation and temperature ranges.
