Weather Briefing
IFRGobernador Horacio Guzman International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,200 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 5 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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 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, Fog.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Gobernador Horacio Guzman International Airport
Overview
Gobernador Horacio Guzman International Airport serves San Salvador de Jujuy in Argentina, functioning as a critical medium-sized regional airport. Located at coordinates -24.392799, -65.097801, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for Jujuy Province, situated in the northwestern region of the country. Its elevation of 3019 feet above mean sea level positions it in a distinctive geographical context.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high-altitude location at 3019 ft MSL introduces specific atmospheric considerations for pilots, potentially affecting aircraft performance and engine dynamics. Situated in a mountainous region, pilots should anticipate potential variations in temperature, density altitude, and wind patterns that can impact takeoff and landing procedures. The elevation suggests careful performance calculations, particularly for turbine and piston aircraft.
Notable Features
The single runway (16/34) extends 9,698 feet and is constructed with asphalt, providing substantial length for various aircraft operations. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, which are typical in mountainous terrain. The geographic positioning in northwestern Argentina indicates proximity to complex topographical features that may influence local meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34's significant length of 9,698 feet allows flexibility for different aircraft categories and provides adequate safety margins for high-altitude operations. Pilots should anticipate potential terrain-induced wind shifts and be prepared for potential density altitude effects during approach and departure. Standard mountain flying techniques and thorough pre-flight performance calculations are recommended.
