Weather Briefing
IFRMinister Pistarini International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with clear skies and 3 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -3°C (27°F) with a dewpoint of -4°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Mist, Shallow Fog, Mist. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Shallow Fog, Mist between 07:00Z and 12:00Z.
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 Minister Pistarini International Airport
Overview
Minister Pistarini International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Buenos Aires, Argentina, located in Ezeiza, approximately 35 kilometers southwest of the city center. As a large airport with significant elevation at 67 ft MSL, it handles major international and intercontinental passenger and cargo traffic for the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
Buenos Aires experiences variable weather conditions typical of a temperate climate, with potential for significant wind shifts across the two substantial runways. The airport's two asphalt runways (11/29 at 10,827 ft and 17/35 at 10,187 ft) provide excellent operational flexibility for aircraft handling diverse meteorological scenarios.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic positioning at -34.822200, -58.535800 places it in a relatively flat region surrounding Buenos Aires, which minimizes significant terrain challenges for approach and departure. With two long runways exceeding 10,000 feet, the airport can accommodate wide-body aircraft and provide substantial operational resilience during varying weather conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 and 17/35 offer complementary operational capabilities, allowing pilots to select the most appropriate surface based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths provide ample landing and takeoff margins for heavy commercial aircraft, with options to adjust approach strategies based on current meteorological parameters.
