Weather Briefing
VFRBuon Ma Thuot Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 8 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C, indicating moderate moisture 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 fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Buon Ma Thuot Airport
Overview
Buon Ma Thuot Airport serves the Central Highlands region of Vietnam, located in Dak Lak Province. As a medium-sized airport with significant infrastructure, it provides critical aviation services to the city of Buon Ma Thuot and surrounding areas. The airport's elevation of 1,729 feet above mean sea level positions it in a distinctive geographical context.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation and central highland location suggest potential for variable weather conditions, with potential thermal activity and localized wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate temperature and density altitude variations typical of elevated terrain environments. The single runway's 9,843-foot asphalt surface provides substantial operational flexibility for most aircraft types.
Notable Features
Buon Ma Thuot Airport's geographical coordinates (12.668300, 108.120003) place it in a region characterized by varied terrain transitioning between plateau and highland landscapes. The single runway (09/27) orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should be prepared for potential terrain-influenced wind shear and thermal turbulence.
Approach Considerations
The extended runway length of 9,843 feet allows for comfortable approach and landing characteristics for most commercial and regional aircraft. Runway 09/27's orientation indicates potential wind-dependent approach preferences, with careful attention to crosswind components. Standard instrument approach procedures will be essential given the airport's elevated terrain and regional meteorological characteristics.
