Weather Briefing
VFRCaptain Renán Elías Olivera International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 14 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 14-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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. 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. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 14 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 08:00Z and 11:00Z.
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 Captain Renán Elías Olivera International Airport
Overview
Captain Renán Elías Olivera International Airport serves Pisco, Peru, located at 39 feet mean sea level with coordinates -13.744900, -76.220299. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the coastal region, featuring a single substantial runway 04/22 measuring 9,908 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly visual flight rule (VFR) conditions 52.6% of the time, with marginal VFR conditions present 33.9% of observations. Temperature ranges from 11°C to 28°C with an average of 19.3°C, and winds typically originate from the southwest at 225° with an average speed of 8 knots and occasional gusts up to 28 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location near Pisco suggests potential maritime weather influences and potential wind variability. With only 1.4% of observations reporting instrument flight rules (LIFR) conditions and minimal fog (0.3%), the airport generally offers stable flying environments, particularly during peak months of November, December, and January.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 3.2 knots. Pilots can expect consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with no recorded instances of visibility below 3 statute miles, supporting predictable approach and landing conditions.
