Weather Briefing

IFR

Necochea Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with clear skies and 4 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 4°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Mist, Fog, Light Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 06:00Z and 11:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions with Light Rain between 17:00Z and 18:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.

Overview

Necochea Airport serves the coastal city of Necochea in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Located at coordinates -38.490746, -58.816337, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region, situated at an elevation of 72 feet above mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

The airport features three runways with varying surface types and lengths, providing flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. Runway surfaces include green earth (GRE) for two runways and asphalt (ASP) for the longest runway, with lengths ranging from 2,621 feet to 4,921 feet, which can accommodate a variety of general aviation and regional aircraft.

Notable Features

Situated near the Atlantic coast, Necochea Airport's geographic location may present unique meteorological challenges typical of maritime environments. The airport's multiple runway configurations (13/31, 17/35, and 18/36) offer pilots options for takeoff and landing depending on wind direction and aircraft performance requirements.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should carefully evaluate runway selection based on aircraft characteristics and current wind conditions, with three runway options available. The longest runway (18/36 at 4,921 feet with asphalt surface) likely provides the most versatile option for larger aircraft and more demanding approach scenarios.
