Weather Briefing
VFRGeneral Guadalupe Victoria International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 8,000 feet and 10 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 2.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (170°) at 9 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft, scattered at 8,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 3°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: Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 20:00Z and 00:00Z.
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 General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport
Overview
General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport serves the city of Durango in north-central Mexico, operating as a key transportation hub for the Durango region. Located at coordinates 24.125468, -104.527938, this large airport provides critical air connectivity for commercial, cargo, and potentially regional aviation operations. The airport's substantial elevation of 6,104 feet mean sea level positions it in a significant mountainous terrain environment.
Flying Conditions
The high-altitude environment at 6,104 feet MSL will significantly impact aircraft performance, requiring careful weight, balance, and power calculations for all operations. Pilots should anticipate reduced engine and aerodynamic performance due to the thin air at this elevation. Seasonal weather variations in this mountainous region can produce challenging wind conditions, particularly around the primary runway 03/21.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway 03/21 measuring 9,514 feet in length, constructed with asphalt surface. This runway length provides substantial operational flexibility for most commercial and regional aircraft types, accommodating varying aircraft weights and performance envelopes. The airport's geographic position in the Durango region suggests potential terrain-influenced wind patterns and potential thermal dynamics typical of mountainous landscapes.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21's extended length of 9,514 feet offers pilots significant landing and takeoff margin, particularly critical at the airport's high elevation. Approach planning should carefully consider the airport's 6,104-foot MSL elevation and potential wind variations. Pilots should be prepared for potential performance adjustments related to altitude and anticipate potential terrain-influenced wind conditions during arrival and departure phases.
