Weather Briefing
MVFRFloyd Bennett Memorial Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,100 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°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 23 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. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 01:00Z and 03:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport
Overview
Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport serves the Glens Falls region in upstate New York as a medium-sized airport situated at 328 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 43.341202, -73.610298, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area with two asphalt runways supporting various general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Floyd Bennett Memorial are predominantly VFR, with 68.8% of observations indicating visual flight rules. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variation, ranging from -22°C to 29°C, with an average temperature of 3.4°C. Wind patterns are primarily from the south at an average of 6.4 knots, with calm conditions occurring 43.7% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: Runway 01/19 at 5000 feet and Runway 12/30 at 4000 feet, both constructed of asphalt surface. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with Runway 01/19 experiencing an average crosswind of 3.4 knots and Runway 12/30 averaging 4.8 knots. Average visibility is excellent at 8.5 statute miles, with only 6% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles.
Approach Considerations
Optimal VFR flying conditions occur during autumn months, specifically October, November, and September. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility during 6.8% of observations with fog presence. The consistent wind patterns and high percentage of VFR conditions make Floyd Bennett Memorial a relatively predictable airport for most general aviation operations.
