Weather Briefing
IFROttawa / Carp Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 900 feet and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 6 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 29 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Mist, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Mist between 01:00Z and 05:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 05:00Z and 12:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions between 05:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Ottawa / Carp Airport
Overview
Ottawa / Carp Airport serves the western region of Ottawa, Ontario, providing a strategic general aviation facility for the national capital area. Located at 45.319199, -76.022202 with an elevation of 382 feet MSL, the airport offers two runways that support diverse light aircraft and private aviation operations. Its medium airport classification indicates capabilities for regional and recreational flying activities.
Flying Conditions
Situated in eastern Ontario, the airport experiences typical Canadian seasonal weather variations that can significantly impact flying conditions. The two distinct runways (04/22 and 10/28) provide flexibility for different wind configurations, with 10/28 offering a longer 3,937-foot asphalted surface compared to the 2,205-foot gravel runway 04/22. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and be prepared for changing meteorological conditions characteristic of the region.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runway configuration at different orientations (04/22 and 10/28) provides operational versatility for pilots navigating local terrain and wind patterns. The significant difference in runway surfaces - one gravel (GVL) and one asphalt (ASP) - offers pilots options for different aircraft types and landing preferences. Its proximity to Ottawa suggests potential interactions with surrounding controlled airspace and metropolitan aviation traffic.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations should prioritize runway selection based on current wind direction, with the longer 10/28 runway offering more landing flexibility for larger aircraft. The varying runway surfaces require pilots to assess their specific aircraft performance and landing gear compatibility. Standard precautions for a medium airport in a variable climate should be observed, with particular attention to surface conditions during seasonal transitions.
