Weather Briefing
VFRBacolod-Silay Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 5 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,800 ft (CB), scattered at 3,100 ft. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Bacolod-Silay Airport
Overview
Bacolod-Silay Airport serves the Negros Occidental region in the Philippines, providing critical transportation infrastructure for Bacolod City and surrounding areas. Located at 10.776400, 123.014999, this medium-sized airport supports regional commercial and general aviation operations. The airport sits at an elevation of 82 feet mean sea level, offering accessibility for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
The airport's tropical maritime location typically presents warm, humid conditions with potential for sudden weather changes characteristic of Philippine climate. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and localized thunderstorm development, particularly during the wet season. The single runway (03/21) measuring 6,562 feet provides substantial landing and takeoff options for most commercial and regional aircraft.
Notable Features
Bacolod-Silay Airport's runway is constructed of concrete, providing stable surface conditions for aircraft operations. The airport's moderate elevation and coastal proximity create potential for variable wind conditions that pilots must carefully monitor during approach and departure. Surrounding terrain is predominantly flat, which generally supports predictable approach and departure paths.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 offers a substantial 6,562-foot length, accommodating most regional and commercial aircraft types with reasonable operational margins. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight weather assessments, paying particular attention to wind direction and potential convective activity. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable given the airport's established infrastructure and regional aviation standards.
