Weather Briefing
VFRVan Don International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 5 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,600 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 28°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 remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Van Don International Airport
Overview
Van Don International Airport serves the Quang Ninh Province in northeastern Vietnam, situated near the coastal region. As a medium-sized airport at 24 ft mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Van Don economic zone and surrounding areas. The airport's single runway (03/21) spans 11,811 feet, accommodating a range of aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Van Don strongly favor visual flight rules (VFR), with 67% of observations supporting clear conditions and an additional 25.4% in marginal VFR. The prevailing easterly winds average 4.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 20 knots. Temperature ranges from 7°C to 36°C, with an average of 21.5°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions for aviation.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location influences its meteorological characteristics, with consistent easterly wind patterns. The runway (03/21) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, showing 100% favorable wind conditions with minimal average crosswind of 2.8 knots. The low elevation and proximity to the coastline suggest potential maritime weather influences and relatively flat surrounding terrain.
Approach Considerations
Optimal flying months are October, September, and November, offering the most consistent visual meteorological conditions. With extremely low occurrences of restricted visibility (fog present in only 0.2% of observations), pilots can expect generally reliable approach conditions. The runway's substantial 11,811-foot length provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types.
