Weather Briefing
MVFRSwan River Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,000 feet and 6 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 20 knots with gusts to 28 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 20-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 SM. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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 6 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 Showers Rain, Mist, FCST, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 30 knots during the period. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Swan River Airport
Overview
Swan River Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Swan River, Canada, positioned at coordinates 52.120602, -101.236000. Situated at an elevation of 1,100 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves regional aviation needs in its geographical area. Its infrastructure supports multiple runway configurations for diverse operational requirements.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 1,100 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment with potential for variable weather conditions typical of central Canadian regions. The two distinct runways (02/20 and 08/26) provide flexibility for different wind directions and approach scenarios. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations in surface conditions, particularly between the asphalt and grass runway surfaces.
Notable Features
Swan River Airport features two runways with different surface compositions: runway 02/20 is asphalt-surfaced and 3,933 feet long, while runway 08/26 is grass-surfaced and 1,950 feet long. The variation in runway lengths and surfaces offers operational adaptability for different aircraft types and meteorological conditions. The dual-runway configuration allows for wind-adaptive operations.
Approach Considerations
Approach strategies should consider the airport's two runways with their distinct characteristics. Runway 02/20's longer asphalt surface (3,933 ft) provides more flexibility for larger aircraft and potentially more stable approach conditions. Pilots should assess current wind directions to select the most appropriate runway, with particular attention to crosswind components and surface conditions.
