Weather Briefing
MVFRComandante Ariston Pessoa Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 10 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Comandante Ariston Pessoa Airport
Overview
Comandante Ariston Pessoa Airport serves the region of Cruz in Brazil, located at coordinates -2.906425, -40.357338. As a medium airport with a single runway (08/26) measuring 7,218 feet in length, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area. The airport sits at an elevation of 89 feet mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at this airport are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 88.9% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Prevailing winds come from the northeast at 45 degrees, averaging 15.1 knots with occasional gusts up to 25 knots. Temperature ranges from 22°C to 36°C, with an average of 30.5°C, indicating consistently warm operational environments.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (08/26) is constructed of asphalt and offers consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Geographical positioning suggests a coastal or near-coastal environment, which typically implies potential for stable maritime air masses. The low elevation of 89 feet means minimal terrain-related complexities for approaching aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 experiences an average crosswind of 6.6 knots, which is generally manageable for most aircraft categories. September, October, and November represent the best months for VFR operations, characterized by the most stable weather patterns. Pilots should anticipate consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles with no significant fog or low visibility events recorded.
