Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3800 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 Rain, Light Rain, Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Mist between 12:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Mist between 14:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Mist between 16:00Z and 19:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport
Overview
Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport serves the Shizuoka Prefecture region, located strategically near the iconic Mount Fuji. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway at 433 ft elevation, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for central Japan, situated between Makinohara and Shimada municipalities.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 91.8% of observations supporting clear conditions. Winds predominantly blow from the west at an average of 9.3 knots, with maximum recorded gusts of 32 knots. Temperature variations range from -1°C to 33°C, with an average of 15.1°C.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (12/30) spans 7,218 feet of asphalt concrete, positioned to take advantage of predictable western wind patterns. Its proximity to Mount Fuji suggests potential for significant terrain-induced wind variations and potential orographic effects that pilots should anticipate during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 5.8 knots. Pilots will find January, November, and December offer the most consistent VFR conditions, with minimal chances of instrument meteorological conditions or low visibility scenarios.
