Weather Briefing

VFR

Terán Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 3,000 feet and 6 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (80°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C, indicating relatively 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: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain 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 Terán Air Base

Terán Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the MX AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Terán Air Base is located in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico, serving as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 1,909 feet above mean sea level. Situated at coordinates 16.739901, -93.173301, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in the southern region of Mexico. Its single runway (17/35) spans 7,065 feet with an asphalt surface, supporting various aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1,909 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment that can influence aircraft performance and atmospheric conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations typical of the region, which may impact takeoff and landing characteristics. The asphalt runway surface suggests standard operational conditions with good ground friction.

Notable Features

Terán Air Base features a single runway oriented 17/35, which provides directional flexibility for takeoffs and landings. The 7,065-foot runway length accommodates a range of aircraft types and operational requirements. Its location in Tuxtla Gutiérrez suggests proximity to varied terrain, including potential mountainous or hilly surrounding landscapes that could influence local wind patterns and approach dynamics.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35's substantial length of 7,065 feet offers pilots considerable operational flexibility for approach and landing procedures. The runway's orientation suggests potential wind alignment considerations, with pilots advised to assess current meteorological conditions for optimal approach planning. Standard instrument approach and departure procedures should be referenced through official aeronautical publications specific to this airport.
