Weather Briefing
VFRDeKalb Peachtree Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 5,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Wind data is not available.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 5,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating relatively 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 fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About DeKalb Peachtree Airport
Overview
DeKalb Peachtree Airport serves the metropolitan Atlanta area as a critical general aviation and business aviation facility. Located at 33.876330, -84.302130 with an elevation of 1,003 feet MSL, the airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the region. Its four runways accommodate a diverse range of aircraft operations, with runway lengths varying from 3,383 to 6,001 feet.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at PDK demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 69.6% of observed conditions. Seasonal transitions in September, October, and November offer the most stable flying weather, characterized by minimal precipitation and favorable wind patterns. The prevailing northwest winds at an average of 6.9 knots, with calm conditions 40% of the time, provide generally predictable flying environments.
Notable Features
The airport's strategic location near Atlanta provides convenient access to urban and surrounding aerial infrastructure. With multiple runway orientations (09/27, 16/34, 3L/21R, 3R/21L), pilots can optimize takeoff and landing approaches based on current wind conditions. All runways are paved with asphalt (ASP) or concrete (CON), ensuring consistent surface quality across different operational areas.
Approach Considerations
Wind data indicates exceptionally favorable wind alignments for both primary runway configurations, with 100% favorable wind coverage for 09/27 and 16/34 runways. Average crosswind components remain low at 4.3 and 4.1 knots respectively, facilitating predictable approach and landing scenarios. Pilots should anticipate temperature ranges from -8°C to 33°C and typical visibility around 8.8 statute miles, with occasional reduced visibility periods.
