Weather Briefing
VFRDauphin Barker Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,500 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 27 knots with gusts to 40 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 23-knot headwind and 14-knot crosswind component (gusting to 20 knots crosswind). These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 5500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 8°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 10 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Haze, FCST, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 25 knots during the period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Haze, FCST, FCST between 20:00Z and 06:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Dauphin Barker Airport
Overview
Dauphin Barker Airport serves the Dauphin area in Manitoba, Canada, as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at an elevation of 999 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for local and transiting aircraft. Its three runways offer versatile operational capabilities for different aircraft types and wind conditions.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences diverse weather conditions throughout the year, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 55.2% of observations. Temperature variations are substantial, ranging from -32°C to 29°C, with an average of -4.5°C. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 9.4 knots characterize the airport's wind profile, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways with different surface compositions: Runway 02/20 is gravel (GVL), while Runways 08/26 and 14/32 are asphalt (ASP). Runway lengths vary from 2000 feet to 5000 feet, providing flexibility for different aircraft types. The airport maintains consistently favorable wind conditions across all runways, with 100% wind compatibility and moderate crosswind averages between 5.4 and 6.6 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should note the best VFR months are September, October, and November, offering more stable flying conditions. Visibility averages 7.8 statute miles, with only 4.8% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. While fog is relatively rare at 1.3% of observations, pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility during certain periods.
