Weather Briefing
VFRFlagstaff Pulliam International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 12 knots with gusts to 18 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component (gusting to 3 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of -13°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Smoke. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Smoke between 21:00Z and 01:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Flagstaff Pulliam International Airport
Overview
Flagstaff Pulliam International Airport serves northern Arizona, situated at a high elevation of 7,014 feet MSL in the mountainous region near Flagstaff. The airport supports regional and general aviation operations with its single runway 03/21, which spans 6,999 feet of asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 73.9% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions occurring 15.2% of observations. Temperature ranges from -16°C to 26°C, creating potential density altitude challenges, while winds predominantly originate from the southwest at an average of 8.9 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's high-altitude location introduces complex terrain and potential orographic effects that pilots must carefully consider during flight planning. Calm wind conditions are frequent, occurring in 37.7% of observations, which can impact takeoff and landing performance at the elevated field elevation.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and a minimal average crosswind of 3 knots. September, October, and December represent the most consistently favorable VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions for pilots operating at this mountain airport.
