Weather Briefing

VFR

Jeongseok Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 20 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 17-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 18 knots.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Jeongseok Airport

Overview

Jeongseok Airport is located on Jeju Island, South Korea, serving as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 1171 feet mean sea level. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for Jeju Island, positioned at coordinates 33.399601, 126.711998. Its strategic location supports regional transportation and connectivity for the island.

Flying Conditions

Situated on an island environment, Jeongseok Airport experiences maritime-influenced weather conditions typical of coastal regions. The airport's elevation at 1171 feet MSL suggests potential for variable wind conditions and potential orographic effects. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and turbulence associated with the island's topography.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary runway 01/19 measuring 7589 feet in length, and a secondary runway 15/33 measuring 4974 feet. The substantial primary runway length provides flexibility for diverse aircraft operations, while the secondary runway offers additional operational redundancy. The island's terrain and coastal positioning may introduce unique atmospheric and wind considerations for pilots.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, with 01/19 and 15/33 providing different approach options based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway selection during arrival and departure. The substantial runway length, particularly on runway 01/19, accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and provides operational margin for safe landings and takeoffs.
