Weather Briefing
MVFRIvato Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 5 knots. Runway 11/29 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Ivato Airport
Overview
Ivato Airport serves as the primary international airport for Antananarivo, Madagascar's capital city. Located at 4198 feet above mean sea level, this large airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the region, supporting both commercial and potentially military aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Situated at a significant elevation of 4198 ft MSL, Ivato Airport experiences atmospheric conditions typical of Madagascar's central highlands. Pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations related to the airport's high-altitude environment, which can impact aircraft climbing capabilities and engine performance.
Notable Features
The airport features a substantial runway 11/29 measuring 10,171 feet in length, constructed with asphalt surface. Its geographic coordinates at -18.796900, 47.478802 place it in the central highlands region, surrounded by terrain that may influence local wind patterns and approach dynamics.
Approach Considerations
The lengthy 10,171-foot runway provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types. With a runway oriented at 110/290 degrees, pilots should assess prevailing wind conditions to determine optimal approach and landing strategy, taking into account the airport's elevated terrain and potential wind variations.
