Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (260°) at 6 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 15 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 5,200 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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 27 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: FCST.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Ottawa / Carp Airport

Overview

Ottawa / Carp Airport serves the western region of Ottawa, Ontario, providing a strategic general aviation facility for the national capital area. Located at 45.319199, -76.022202 with an elevation of 382 feet MSL, the airport offers two runways that support diverse light aircraft and private aviation operations. Its medium airport classification indicates capabilities for regional and recreational flying activities.

Flying Conditions

Situated in eastern Ontario, the airport experiences typical Canadian seasonal weather variations that can significantly impact flying conditions. The two distinct runways (04/22 and 10/28) provide flexibility for different wind configurations, with 10/28 offering a longer 3,937-foot asphalted surface compared to the 2,205-foot gravel runway 04/22. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and be prepared for changing meteorological conditions characteristic of the region.

Notable Features

The airport's dual runway configuration at different orientations (04/22 and 10/28) provides operational versatility for pilots navigating local terrain and wind patterns. The significant difference in runway surfaces - one gravel (GVL) and one asphalt (ASP) - offers pilots options for different aircraft types and landing preferences. Its proximity to Ottawa suggests potential interactions with surrounding controlled airspace and metropolitan aviation traffic.

Approach Considerations

Approach considerations should prioritize runway selection based on current wind direction, with the longer 10/28 runway offering more landing flexibility for larger aircraft. The varying runway surfaces require pilots to assess their specific aircraft performance and landing gear compatibility. Standard precautions for a medium airport in a variable climate should be observed, with particular attention to surface conditions during seasonal transitions.
