Weather Briefing
MVFRSanta Rosa - Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 8.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 5 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Santa Rosa - Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport
Overview
Santa Rosa - Artillery Colonel Victor Larrea International Airport serves the coastal region of Ecuador at an elevation of 20 ft MSL. Located near the city of Santa Rosa, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, with a substantial 8,625-foot asphalt runway capable of handling diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates predominantly favorable flying conditions, with 95.8% of observations supporting visual (VFR) or marginal visual (MVFR) flight rules. Winds predominantly originate from the northwest at an average of 4.2 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 23 knots. Temperature remains consistently warm, averaging 25.8°C with a range between 20°C and 33°C, supporting stable flying environments.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (07/25) demonstrates exceptional wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Crosswinds average a modest 3.2 knots, presenting minimal challenges for most pilot skill levels. The low elevation of 20 ft MSL suggests a flat terrain approach with minimal terrain-related navigation complexities.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal visual meteorological conditions during January, December, and September, which represent the best VFR months. The runway's substantial 8,625-foot length provides ample space for approach and landing, with consistent wind patterns supporting predictable landing characteristics. Calm wind conditions occur in approximately 3.7% of observations, further enhancing operational flexibility.
