Weather Briefing
VFRAlonso Valderrama Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 16,000 feet. Note: This observation is 1.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 6 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
The ceiling is 16000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 02:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 08:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Alonso Valderrama Airport
Overview
Alonso Valderrama Airport serves the Chitré region in Panama, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the Herrera Province. Located at coordinates 7.987840, -80.409837, this medium-sized airport supports regional commercial and general aviation operations in central Panama.
Flying Conditions
Situated at a low elevation of 33 ft mean sea level, the airport experiences typical tropical maritime weather conditions characteristic of Panama's central coastal region. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and localized convection, which are common in this geographical area due to proximity to coastal and inland terrain.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (01/19) measuring 4,921 feet long with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical position provides access to the Azuero Peninsula, serving as a key transportation link for the surrounding agricultural and commercial zones of Herrera Province.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Given the airport's low elevation and coastal proximity, pilots should be prepared for potential wind variations and remain vigilant about local terrain and meteorological conditions during arrival and departure procedures.
