Weather Briefing
VFRVirden / RJ (Bob) Andrew Field Regional Aerodrome is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,600 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (270°) at 30 knots with gusts to 48 knots. The significant gust spread of 18 knots may cause challenging turbulence on approach. Runway 26 is favored with a 30-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component (gusting to 8 knots crosswind). These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 3600 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Mist, Dust, FCST, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 35 knots during the period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist, Dust between 06:00Z and 10:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Virden / RJ (Bob) Andrew Field Regional Aerodrome
Overview
Virden / RJ (Bob) Andrew Field Regional Aerodrome serves the rural community of Virden, Manitoba, providing essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and local aircraft operations. Located at coordinates 49.878300, -100.917999, this medium airport supports general aviation activities with its single runway configuration.
Flying Conditions
Situated at an elevation of 1454 feet above mean sea level, the airport experiences typical Prairie regional weather patterns with potential significant wind variations. The single asphalt runway (08/26) measuring 4000 feet in length provides adequate operational flexibility for most medium-sized aircraft during varying meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical position in southwestern Manitoba suggests a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Prairie landscape. Its runway orientation of 08/26 indicates potential crosswind considerations for pilots, requiring careful attention to wind direction and speed during approach and landing procedures.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate standard VFR approach procedures consistent with a regional aerodrome in a rural setting. The 4000-foot asphalt runway offers sufficient length for most general aviation and regional aircraft, with runway 08/26 providing primary landing and takeoff capabilities based on prevailing wind conditions.
