August
Similar to July, slightly calmer. Peak tourist season on Issyk-Kul, so accommodation is the constraint, not the weather.

Two different kinds of number live in this table and we keep them apart on purpose. Expected is our operational judgement from running ground logistics in these valleys — it is an opinion, not a measurement. Observed is the count of days our own groups actually flew, filled in at the end of each season from the flight log and never overwritten by a deploy. Where Observed is empty, we have not logged that month yet and we are not going to invent it. Nobody in Kyrgyzstan publishes flyable-day statistics; building this table honestly is slower than making one up and it is the only version worth citing.

Tell us what you fly
Send your rating, hours, personal best and last SIV, and you get a specific answer — a route and a retrieval zone, not a brochure. A person reads it and answers within one working day.
Or just get the season report
One email at the end of each season with the flyable days we actually logged, and one more if the SIV course opens. Nothing else, ever.
