Weather Briefing

VFR

Hobart Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 20 knots with gusts to 27 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 20-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component (gusting to 5 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 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

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

About Hobart Regional Airport

Overview

Hobart Regional Airport serves the Hobart area in the United States, situated at an elevation of 1,563 feet MSL. The airport features three asphalt runways with lengths ranging from 5,293 to 5,507 feet, providing multiple landing and takeoff options for various aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Hobart Regional are predominantly VFR, with 86.7% of observations showing favorable flying conditions. The airport experiences a wide temperature range from -13°C to 36°C, with prevailing south winds averaging 10.5 knots. Visibility is typically excellent, averaging 9.5 statute miles, with only 1.5% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical location experiences consistent wind patterns, primarily from the south at 180 degrees. All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest crosswind components ranging from 4.5 to 8.7 knots. The diverse runway configuration allows flexibility in approach and departure operations across different wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect optimal flying conditions during January, September, and November, which represent the best VFR months. The multiple runway orientations (03/21, 12/30, and 17/35) provide excellent wind coverage and approach options. With an average crosswind of less than 9 knots across all runways, pilots can anticipate relatively straightforward landing and takeoff scenarios.
