Weather Briefing
LIFRCoronel Altino Machado Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with few clouds at 500 feet and 0.65 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.65 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Coronel Altino Machado Airport
Overview
Coronel Altino Machado Airport serves Governador Valadares, a city located in the interior of Minas Gerais state, Brazil. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway at 5,581 feet, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and supports commercial and general aviation operations in the southeastern Brazilian region.
Flying Conditions
Situated at an elevation of 561 feet mean sea level, the airport experiences typical inland Brazilian terrain weather patterns with potential thermal variations. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during warmer months.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 07/25 is constructed of asphalt, oriented in an east-west configuration. The geographical coordinates at -18.895882, -41.982869 place the airport in a region characterized by rolling terrain, which may introduce localized wind patterns and potential mechanical turbulence during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Given the runway's east-west orientation, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind conditions during landing and takeoff. The 5,581-foot runway length provides adequate space for most medium-sized aircraft, but precise performance calculations should be made considering local elevation and potential atmospheric conditions.
