Weather Briefing
IFRAlma Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,000 feet and 2 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 5 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 2 SM. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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 5 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Mist, Light Rain, Mist, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Mist, FCST between 21:00Z and 02:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.

About Alma Airport
Overview
Alma Airport (CYTF) is a medium airport situated in Alma, Quebec, Canada at coordinates 48.508900, -71.641899. Located at an elevation of 445 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves the regional transportation needs of the Lac-Saint-Jean area. Its primary runway 13/31 provides a 5,000-foot asphalt surface for aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation of 445 feet suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of the Quebec region. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations in temperature and precipitation that could impact runway surface conditions, particularly during winter months. The airport's geographic location may experience localized wind patterns that could affect approach and departure procedures.
Notable Features
Positioned in a region with varied terrain, Alma Airport offers a substantial 5,000-foot runway which accommodates a range of aircraft types. The asphalt runway (13/31) provides a solid surface for operations, with its orientation potentially influencing wind-related approach strategies. The airport's medium classification indicates it supports regional and potentially some commercial aviation activities.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31's 5,000-foot length provides adequate landing and takeoff distance for many aircraft categories. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway orientation when planning approaches, using the runway's alignment to optimize crosswind handling. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual flight rules should be followed, with careful attention to local terrain and elevation characteristics.
