Weather Briefing
VFRSwan River Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,600 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 9 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 7600 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: FCST, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 20 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with FCST, FCST between 19:00Z and 00:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Swan River Airport
Overview
Swan River Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Swan River, Canada, positioned at coordinates 52.120602, -101.236000. Situated at an elevation of 1,100 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves regional aviation needs in its geographical area. Its infrastructure supports multiple runway configurations for diverse operational requirements.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 1,100 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment with potential for variable weather conditions typical of central Canadian regions. The two distinct runways (02/20 and 08/26) provide flexibility for different wind directions and approach scenarios. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations in surface conditions, particularly between the asphalt and grass runway surfaces.
Notable Features
Swan River Airport features two runways with different surface compositions: runway 02/20 is asphalt-surfaced and 3,933 feet long, while runway 08/26 is grass-surfaced and 1,950 feet long. The variation in runway lengths and surfaces offers operational adaptability for different aircraft types and meteorological conditions. The dual-runway configuration allows for wind-adaptive operations.
Approach Considerations
Approach strategies should consider the airport's two runways with their distinct characteristics. Runway 02/20's longer asphalt surface (3,933 ft) provides more flexibility for larger aircraft and potentially more stable approach conditions. Pilots should assess current wind directions to select the most appropriate runway, with particular attention to crosswind components and surface conditions.
