Weather Briefing
VFRComandante FAP German Arias Graziani Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies. Note: This observation is 2.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 15 knots. Runway 34 is favored with a 15-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 0°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Comandante FAP German Arias Graziani Airport
Overview
Comandante FAP German Arias Graziani Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in Anta, Peru, situated at a significant elevation of 9,097 feet mean sea level. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in the Peruvian highlands, supporting regional transportation and potentially military or general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at this airport are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 93% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Temperatures range from 4°C to 27°C, with an average of 18.6°C, and consistent visibility around 10 statute miles. Wind patterns are primarily northerly, averaging 9 knots with occasional gusts up to 26 knots, and experiencing calm conditions 3.1% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation at 9,097 feet MSL presents significant performance considerations for aircraft operations, particularly affecting density altitude and aircraft capabilities. The single runway 16/34 is 10,007 feet long with an asphalt surface, providing substantial length to accommodate various aircraft types. Pilots must be prepared for potential high-altitude flying challenges typical of Peruvian mountain regions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with wind conditions supporting operations 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 3.1 knots. December, September, and November represent the best months for VFR flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate consistent northerly winds and plan approaches accordingly, leveraging the runway's extensive 10,007-foot length.
