Weather Briefing
VFRRocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 22 knots with gusts to 30 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 17-knot headwind and 14-knot crosswind component (gusting to 19 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of -4°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport
Overview
Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport serves the Denver metropolitan area as a medium-sized airport located at 5,673 feet mean sea level. Positioned at coordinates 39.908798, -105.116997, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Front Range urban corridor. Its three asphalt runways support diverse general aviation, business, and training operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KBJC are predominantly excellent, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions present 94.5% of the time. The airport experiences a wide temperature range from -14°C to 33°C, with an average temperature of 9.4°C. Westerly winds prevail at an average of 8.7 knots, and pilots can expect consistently favorable wind conditions across all runways.
Notable Features
The high elevation of 5,673 feet MSL significantly impacts aircraft performance and requires careful density altitude calculations. All three runways offer different lengths: Runway 12L/30R at 9,000 feet provides the longest surface, while 03/21 and 12R/30L offer 3,601 and 7,004 feet respectively. September through November represent the most consistently reliable VFR flying months.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect minimal crosswind challenges, with average crosswind components between 4.8 and 6.5 knots across runways. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with less than 3 miles visibility occurring in only 0.5% of observations. Runway 12L/30R provides the most substantial landing surface and may be preferable for larger aircraft or those with performance constraints.
