Weather Briefing

VFR

Toussaint Louverture International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,000 feet and 9 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 12 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 km. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,000 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C, indicating moderate moisture 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 Toussaint Louverture International Airport

Overview

Toussaint Louverture International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Haiti, located in Port-au-Prince. Situated at 122 feet above mean sea level, this large airport is a critical transportation hub for the Caribbean region. The airport's single runway (10/28) provides substantial landing capacity at 9,974 feet long with an asphalt surface.

Flying Conditions

Haiti's tropical maritime climate produces consistent weather patterns with potential for occasional tropical storm activity. Pilots can expect generally stable atmospheric conditions, though seasonal variations can introduce increased precipitation and wind shifts. The airport's relatively low elevation at 122 ft MSL provides minimal terrain-related atmospheric interactions.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic positioning at coordinates 18.580023, -72.292596 places it in close proximity to Port-au-Prince's urban environment. The single runway (10/28) allows for substantial operational flexibility, with a significant 9,974-foot length suitable for most commercial and cargo aircraft. Terrain surrounding the airport is characteristic of Haiti's coastal plains, offering relatively straightforward approach profiles.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's extended length provides pilots with generous landing and takeoff parameters. The asphalt surface and substantial 9,974-foot length accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and weights. Prevailing wind patterns will typically influence runway selection, with standard left-traffic procedures recommended for standard approach protocols.
