Weather Briefing
MVFRToussaint Louverture International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,000 feet and 5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 10.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 15 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 13:00Z and 17:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 05:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Toussaint Louverture International Airport
Overview
Toussaint Louverture International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Haiti, located in Port-au-Prince. Situated at 122 feet above mean sea level, this large airport is a critical transportation hub for the Caribbean region. The airport's single runway (10/28) provides substantial landing capacity at 9,974 feet long with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Haiti's tropical maritime climate produces consistent weather patterns with potential for occasional tropical storm activity. Pilots can expect generally stable atmospheric conditions, though seasonal variations can introduce increased precipitation and wind shifts. The airport's relatively low elevation at 122 ft MSL provides minimal terrain-related atmospheric interactions.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic positioning at coordinates 18.580023, -72.292596 places it in close proximity to Port-au-Prince's urban environment. The single runway (10/28) allows for substantial operational flexibility, with a significant 9,974-foot length suitable for most commercial and cargo aircraft. Terrain surrounding the airport is characteristic of Haiti's coastal plains, offering relatively straightforward approach profiles.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28's extended length provides pilots with generous landing and takeoff parameters. The asphalt surface and substantial 9,974-foot length accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and weights. Prevailing wind patterns will typically influence runway selection, with standard left-traffic procedures recommended for standard approach protocols.
