Weather Briefing

VFR

Bohol-Panglao International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 22,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 6 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,500 ft (TCU), scattered at 22,000 ft. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 27°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Bohol-Panglao International Airport

Overview

Bohol-Panglao International Airport (RPSP) serves Panglao Island in the Philippines, replacing the older Tagbilaran Airport. Located at 9.573045°N, 123.770143°E, this medium-sized airport provides critical air access to the Bohol region. The airport features a substantial 8,202-foot asphalt runway (03/21), capable of handling various commercial and regional aircraft.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a low elevation of 42 feet mean sea level, the airport experiences typical tropical maritime weather conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity-related visibility variations and potential convective activity common to Philippine coastal environments. The airport's coastal location may produce localized wind shifts and thermal effects during different times of day.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (03/21) is aligned to accommodate prevailing wind patterns in the region. Its extended 8,202-foot length provides flexibility for different aircraft types and operational requirements. The low elevation and coastal positioning suggest potential for rapidly changing local meteorological conditions that require careful preflight and in-flight assessment.

Approach Considerations

Approach considerations should account for the runway's 03/21 orientation and potential crosswind components from surrounding maritime terrain. Pilots should be prepared for potential thermal and sea breeze influences during approach and departure phases. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical given the airport's tropical coastal environment.
