Weather Briefing
VFRInca Manco Capac International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 7.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 5 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 5°C (41°F) with a dewpoint of 3°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 02:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Inca Manco Capac International Airport
Overview
Inca Manco Capac International Airport serves Juliaca, Peru, at a high elevation of 12,552 feet MSL. The medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in the Andean highlands, connecting the region through its single runway 12/30 measuring 13,779 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
Statistical data reveals highly consistent VFR conditions, with 95.3% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Temperatures range from 2°C to 22°C, averaging 13.6°C, with most favorable flying conditions occurring in October, November, and December. Prevailing easterly winds at an average of 6.5 knots support predictable flight operations.
Notable Features
Located at significant altitude in the Peruvian high plateau, the airport presents challenges typical of high-elevation airfields. The extreme elevation requires careful aircraft performance calculations and awareness of reduced air density. Runway surface is asphalt (ASP), providing standard ground characteristics for medium airport operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30 offers excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind of 3.5 knots. Maximum recorded wind speeds of 47 knots indicate potential for occasional challenging wind conditions, necessitating thorough pre-flight wind assessment and potential alternate planning.
