Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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: Light Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain between 19:00Z and 23:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Aeropuerto Nacional de Itaipú

Overview

Aeropuerto Nacional de Itaipú is a medium airport situated in Itaipú, Paraguay, identified by ICAO code SGIB. Located at coordinates -25.407818, -54.619457, the airport serves regional transportation needs in its geographic area. With an elevation of 762 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 762 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment that typically experiences stable atmospheric conditions. Pilots should anticipate standard mid-altitude weather variations typical to Paraguay's subtropical climate. The single asphalt runway (03/21) measuring 4,987 feet provides reasonable operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

The airport's runway orientation of 03/21 indicates a northeast/southwest alignment, which can influence wind patterns and approach strategies. Its asphalt surface is suitable for most medium-category aircraft operations. The geographic coordinates suggest the airport is positioned in a relatively flat region, which likely contributes to consistent approach and departure conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21's substantial length of 4,987 feet offers adequate landing and takeoff capabilities for most medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should plan approaches considering the runway's northeast/southwest orientation, which may interact with prevailing regional wind patterns. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual flight rules should be consulted for specific operational details.
