Weather Briefing
IFRMaupiti Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,500 feet and 3.6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 8 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3.6 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Maupiti Airport
Overview
Maupiti Airport serves the small island of Maupiti in French Polynesia, located in the South Pacific. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this remote island, supporting regional air connectivity with its medium-sized airport designation.
Flying Conditions
Located at 15 feet mean sea level, Maupiti Airport experiences tropical maritime weather typical of the South Pacific region. Pilots should anticipate potential variable wind conditions given the island's oceanic environment, with the single runway (08/26) aligned to potentially accommodate prevailing wind directions.
Notable Features
The airport features a 3,135-foot asphalt (ASP) runway oriented at 08/26, which is suitable for smaller regional aircraft operations. Its geographic position at coordinates -16.426500, -152.244003 indicates a location within the Society Islands archipelago, surrounded by oceanic terrain that could generate complex local wind patterns.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 provides the primary approach avenue, with its 3,135-foot length requiring careful performance planning for aircraft. Pilots should carefully calculate landing and takeoff performance parameters, considering the moderate runway length and potential environmental factors of an island airport setting.
