Weather Briefing
MVFRMinister Pistarini International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist, Shallow Fog, Light Rain, Drizzle. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Shallow Fog between 08:00Z and 11:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Minister Pistarini International Airport
Overview
Minister Pistarini International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Buenos Aires, Argentina, located in Ezeiza, approximately 35 kilometers southwest of the city center. As a large airport with significant elevation at 67 ft MSL, it handles major international and intercontinental passenger and cargo traffic for the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
Buenos Aires experiences variable weather conditions typical of a temperate climate, with potential for significant wind shifts across the two substantial runways. The airport's two asphalt runways (11/29 at 10,827 ft and 17/35 at 10,187 ft) provide excellent operational flexibility for aircraft handling diverse meteorological scenarios.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic positioning at -34.822200, -58.535800 places it in a relatively flat region surrounding Buenos Aires, which minimizes significant terrain challenges for approach and departure. With two long runways exceeding 10,000 feet, the airport can accommodate wide-body aircraft and provide substantial operational resilience during varying weather conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 and 17/35 offer complementary operational capabilities, allowing pilots to select the most appropriate surface based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths provide ample landing and takeoff margins for heavy commercial aircraft, with options to adjust approach strategies based on current meteorological parameters.
