Weather Briefing
VFRFrancisco Sarabia Tinoco International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 10,000 feet and 10 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 5 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 35°C (95°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 remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Francisco Sarabia Tinoco International Airport
Overview
Francisco Sarabia Tinoco International Airport serves the Torreón metropolitan area in Coahuila, Mexico, functioning as a critical medium-sized airport for regional and domestic aviation. Located at 3,688 feet mean sea level with coordinates 25.568300, -103.411003, the airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the northern Mexican region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at MMTC are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 95% of observations reporting VFR conditions. The airport experiences consistent easterly winds averaging 6.4 knots, with temperatures ranging from 1°C to 38°C and an average of 21.2°C. October, November, and September represent the most stable flying months, offering optimal meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: 08/26 at 4,813 feet and 13/31 at 9,039 feet, providing operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Both runways demonstrate nearly identical wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind (3.7-3.9 knots). Excellent visibility averages 8.9 statute miles, with no reported instances of fog or significant visual restrictions.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistent wind patterns from the east (90 degrees), with calm conditions occurring 44.4% of the time. The longer runway 13/31 offers extended landing and takeoff capabilities, potentially preferred for larger aircraft or during challenging operational scenarios. Given the airport's high elevation and stable wind profile, standard approach procedures with minimal meteorological interference can be anticipated.
