Weather Briefing

IFR

Okushiri Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (80°) at 6 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 01:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.

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 Okushiri Airport

Overview

Okushiri Airport serves Okushiri Island, located in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. Positioned at 42.071701, 139.432999, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the island's remote location. The airport operates with a single runway (13/31) measuring 4,922 feet with an asphalted surface.

Flying Conditions

Given its coastal island location, Okushiri Airport experiences variable maritime weather conditions typical of northern Japan. The airport's elevation of 161 feet above mean sea level suggests moderate terrain interaction with potential wind shifts. Pilots should anticipate potential marine layer developments and wind patterns influenced by surrounding water bodies.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic position on Okushiri Island presents unique navigational considerations for approaching aircraft. Its medium-sized classification indicates capability for regional and smaller commercial aircraft operations. The single runway's orientation (13/31) suggests potential crosswind challenges given the island's exposed maritime environment.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31's 4,922-foot length accommodates most regional aircraft types with sufficient margin for safe operations. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variability due to the island's coastal positioning and prepare for potential crosswind landing techniques. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended given the airport's geographic complexity.
