Weather Briefing

MVFR

Soekarno-Hatta International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (350°) at 9 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 30 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: Thunderstorm Rain, Haze. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 12:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Soekarno-Hatta International Airport

Overview

Soekarno-Hatta International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Jakarta, Indonesia's capital city. Located at coordinates -6.125570, 106.655998, this large airport is a critical hub for both domestic and international air traffic. The airport operates at a low elevation of 34 feet mean sea level, providing relatively straightforward terrain for aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

As an equatorial airport, Soekarno-Hatta experiences consistent tropical weather conditions with high humidity and potential for rapid meteorological changes. The airport's three concrete runways offer substantial operational flexibility, with lengths ranging from 9,843 to 12,008 feet. Pilots should anticipate potential thunderstorm development and frequent convective activity typical of the Jakarta metropolitan region.

Notable Features

The airport features three parallel runways (06/24, 07L/25R, and 07R/25L) constructed of concrete, providing robust surface conditions for heavy aircraft movements. Its proximity to Jakarta's urban center means complex airspace interactions and potential for significant air traffic density. The relatively low elevation of 34 feet MSL contributes to minimal terrain-related approach challenges.

Approach Considerations

Runway configuration suggests primary wind-aligned approaches will likely utilize the 07/25 runway complex. The substantial runway lengths (longest at 12,008 feet) provide ample landing and takeoff space for wide-body international aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential congestion and prepare for precise navigation in a high-traffic metropolitan airport environment.
