Weather Briefing

IFR

Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Wind data is not available.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.

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

About Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport

Overview

Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport serves the Gabon region with a medium-sized airport infrastructure located at coordinates -1.184610, 12.441300. Positioned at an elevation of 1070 feet mean sea level, the airport provides essential aviation services for the Koulamoutou area, supporting regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1070 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment that may experience typical equatorial climate variations. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and temperature fluctuations characteristic of the Gabonese geographical region, which can impact aircraft performance and operational considerations.

Notable Features

The single runway 15/33 measures 5,841 feet in length and is constructed with an asphalt surface (ASP). This runway configuration provides sufficient length for medium-sized aircraft operations and offers flexibility for approaches from two primary directions based on the 15/33 orientation.

Approach Considerations

Given the runway's 15/33 orientation, pilots should be prepared to select approach directions based on prevailing wind conditions. The 5,841-foot asphalt runway provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft, with careful attention to elevation and potential local terrain features during approach and departure procedures.
