Weather Briefing
MVFRTabatinga Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,000 feet and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 6 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 10:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Tabatinga Airport
Overview
Tabatinga Airport serves the tri-border region of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, located in the western Amazon region. Situated at an elevation of 263 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure in a remote and geographically complex area. The airport supports regional connectivity and serves as an important gateway for both civilian and potentially official cross-border operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Tabatinga Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 70.5% of observations reporting VFR conditions. The prevailing southeastern winds at 135° average 4.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Temperature remains consistently warm, averaging 26.8°C with a range between 21°C and 34°C, creating stable atmospheric conditions for most of the year.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 12/30 extends 7,054 feet with an asphalt surface, oriented to optimize alignment with prevailing winds. Its geographical location in the Amazon basin means pilots should anticipate potential localized weather developments typical of tropical environments. The airport experiences minimal meteorological disruptions, with fog present in only 0.4% of observations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30 demonstrates exceptional wind compatibility, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time. Crosswind components average a modest 2.6 knots, offering comfortable approach and landing scenarios. September through November represent the optimal months for VFR flying, providing the most consistently clear and stable atmospheric conditions.
