Weather Briefing
LIFRTen. Cel. Aviador César Bombonato Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 100 feet and 0.2 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 5 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.2 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is very low at 100 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 12 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, Patches Fog, Mist, Fog. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Patches Fog, Mist between 08:00Z and 12:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 12:00Z and 13:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Ten. Cel. Aviador César Bombonato Airport
Overview
Ten. Cel. Aviador César Bombonato Airport serves Uberlândia, a significant city in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Located at 3,094 feet elevation with coordinates -18.883579, -48.225936, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation and economic needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at SBUL are predominantly VFR, with 85.6% of observations indicating favorable flying conditions. Wind patterns are consistently easterly at 90 degrees, averaging 7.9 knots with occasional gusts up to 22 knots. Temperature ranges from 14°C to 35°C, with an average of 23.8°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (4/22) measuring 6,398 feet with an asphalt surface. Its elevated position at 3,094 feet MSL provides unique terrain considerations for pilots, potentially affecting aircraft performance and approach dynamics. The geographical location suggests potential for thermal and wind variations typical of the Brazilian interior.
Approach Considerations
Prevailing easterly winds suggest runway 22 might offer more favorable approach conditions for landing. Pilots can expect excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility (fog occurs in only 1.6% of observations). September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations.
