Weather Briefing
VFRLanyu Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 8 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C, indicating moderate moisture 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. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 10:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Lanyu Airport
Overview
Lanyu Airport serves the remote Orchid Island, located off the southeastern coast of Taiwan. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this isolated island community, connecting it to mainland Taiwan. As a medium-sized airport at 44 ft elevation, it supports essential regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Situated at coordinates 22.027000, 121.535004, Lanyu Airport experiences maritime subtropical weather conditions typical of its island location. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and maritime weather patterns that can impact flight operations. The airport's relatively low elevation and coastal positioning suggest potential for rapid weather changes.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (13/31) measuring 3,852 feet with a concrete surface. Its geographic location on Orchid Island presents unique terrain considerations, with surrounding mountainous and coastal landscapes that can influence local wind patterns and approach dynamics. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges during certain wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31's length of 3,852 feet requires careful performance planning for aircraft operations. Pilots should thoroughly assess aircraft performance capabilities relative to the runway length and local environmental conditions. Wind direction and potential maritime turbulence should be carefully evaluated during approach and landing planning.
