Weather Briefing

VFR

Maupiti Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 12 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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. 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.
