Weather Briefing
IFRSanto Ângelo Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 500 feet and 3 km visibility. Note: This observation is 14.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 6 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Santo Ângelo Airport
Overview
Santo Ângelo Airport serves the Rio Grande do Sul region in southern Brazil, positioned at an elevation of 1056 ft MSL near the coordinates -28.282503, -54.169623. As a medium-sized airport, it supports regional transportation and potentially agricultural/commercial aviation operations in this part of Brazil.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 86.8% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Temperature ranges from 12°C to 36°C, averaging 25°C, which provides generally stable flying environments. Wind patterns are consistently from the southeast (135°) at an average of 5.4 knots, with occasional gusts up to 16 knots.
Notable Features
The single runway (12/30) is 5331 feet long with an asphalt surface, capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft. The airport's location suggests a terrain typical of southern Brazilian plateaus, which may involve rolling landscapes and potential thermal activity during warmer months.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 3.2 knots. Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions particularly during January, October, and November, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
