Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 16 knots. Runway 33 is favored with a 15-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,500 ft (TCU). Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 3,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 35°C (95°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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. 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: Haze, Mist. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 01:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 10:00Z and 14:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Angel Albino Corzo International Airport serves Tuxtla Gutiérrez, the capital of Chiapas, Mexico. Located at 1,499 feet MSL with coordinates 16.563601, -93.022499, this medium-sized airport provides critical regional aviation infrastructure. The airport primarily handles commercial and regional traffic in southeastern Mexico.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at MMTG demonstrate consistently favorable flying environments, with 72.9% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Wind patterns are predominantly from the northwest at 315° with an average speed of 6.4 knots, rarely exceeding 24 knots. Temperature ranges from 10°C to 33°C, with an average of 24.3°C, and visibility typically around 6.9 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways, with runway 15/33 being the primary operational surface at 8,202 feet long and constructed of asphalt. Calm wind conditions occur 22.4% of the time, which can impact takeoff and landing planning. The airport's elevation and geographical location in the Chiapas region suggest potential terrain-related considerations for approach and departure procedures.

Approach Considerations

All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components ranging from 2.9 to 3.9 knots. December, January, and November represent the best VFR months for operations. Pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility, with 6.7% of observations reporting fog and 1.8% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles.
