Weather Briefing
VFRAlferez Fap David Figueroa Fernandini Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 12,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 13 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,000 ft, scattered at 12,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 2 to 15 knots.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.
