Clouds - Visual Profile
Weather Briefing
VFRHao Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 6,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 15 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 6200 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Hao Airport
Overview
Hao Airport serves the Otepa region in French Polynesia, located at coordinates -18.074800, -140.945999. As a medium airport situated at 10 ft mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding area. The airport features a single runway (12/30) with a substantial length of 11,089 feet constructed with asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Hao Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 80.6% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Winds consistently blow from the east at an average of 12.1 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 33 knots. Temperature remains stable, averaging 26.7°C with a narrow range between 20°C and 31°C, providing predictable thermal conditions for pilots.
Notable Features
The airport's runway 12/30 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Crosswinds average 6.9 knots, which are generally manageable for most aircraft operations. The low elevation of 10 ft MSL suggests a flat terrain characteristic typical of Pacific island airports.
Approach Considerations
October, September, and November represent the best months for VFR flying, offering optimal weather conditions. Pilots can expect consistently high visibility averaging 10 statute miles with virtually no instances of reduced visibility or fog. The long runway and stable wind patterns provide flexible approach options with minimal meteorological constraints.
