Weather Briefing

VFR

Berens River Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 25,000 feet and 15 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 2.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 15 knots with gusts to 33 knots. The significant gust spread of 18 knots may cause challenging turbulence on approach. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 13-knot crosswind component (gusting to 29 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 25000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 5°C, indicating very dry conditions.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Berens River Airport

Berens River Airport (CYBV/YBV) is located in Berens River, CA at an elevation of 728 feet MSL. The airport has 1 runway (09/27), with the longest at 2,900 feet.

Weather Profile

Analysis of 1,613 weather observations shows CYBV maintains VFR conditions 71.9% of the time, with marginal VFR accounting for 18.4% and IFR/LIFR conditions present in 9.7% of reports.

Wind Patterns & Runway Selection

Prevailing winds at CYBV come from the NW (315°) with an average speed of 8.6 knots and recorded gusts up to 26 knots. Calm winds are rare (2.1%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 09/27 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 5.4 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.

Seasonal Considerations

The best months for VFR operations are April, March, May, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -34°C (-29°F) to 29°C (84°F), averaging -5.4°C (22°F). Cold weather operations require attention to aircraft preheating, de-icing, and cold-soaked fuel management. Altimeter settings typically range from 29.07 to 30.78 inHg (984-1042 hPa).
