Weather Briefing
VFRBancasi Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 25,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 99.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 25000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Bancasi Airport
Overview
Bancasi Airport serves the city of Butuan in the Philippines, located in the northern Mindanao region. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 141 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the surrounding provincial area. The airport supports regional commercial and potential military aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Butuan's tropical maritime climate presents variable weather conditions for pilots, with significant humidity and potential thunderstorm development. The airport's moderate elevation of 141 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions without extreme altitude challenges. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal and convective activity typical of the Philippine archipelago's maritime environment.
Notable Features
The single runway 12/30 spans 6,877 feet of concrete surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical coordinates at 8.951500, 125.478800 position the airport in a coastal plain region, which may introduce localized wind variations and potential marine layer formations. The runway's length provides sufficient operational flexibility for most regional aircraft types.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. Pilots should carefully evaluate wind conditions during approach, utilizing the full concrete runway length for safe landing and takeoff operations. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical given the airport's geographical location and potential maritime meteorological influences.
