Weather Briefing
VFRDuke Field is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 9 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Duke Field
Overview
Duke Field is a medium airport located near Crestview, Florida, serving the local aviation community. Situated at an elevation of 191 feet MSL, the airport provides two runways that support various aircraft operations. Its strategic location and infrastructure make it an important regional aviation facility.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 66.7% of observations showing clear weather. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -56°C to 36°C, with an average of 16.7°C. September, October, and November offer the most consistent and favorable VFR flying conditions, with minimal weather-related restrictions.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a primary 8000ft asphalt runway (18/36) and a secondary 3500ft asphalt runway (180/360). Wind patterns are characterized by northerly prevailing winds at an average of 6.3 knots, with calm conditions occurring 30.8% of the time. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment.
Approach Considerations
When approaching Duke Field, pilots should anticipate generally stable wind conditions with an average crosswind of 3 knots on both runways. Visibility averages 9.5 statute miles, though 2.7% of observations show visibility below 3SM, and fog occurs in 7.4% of reports. Careful attention to current METAR information is recommended prior to arrival.
