Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Haze.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Kertajati International Airport

Overview

Kertajati International Airport serves the West Java region, located approximately 130 kilometers east of Jakarta. Situated at an elevation of 134 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and connectivity in Indonesia.

Flying Conditions

The airport's location at -6.648924, 108.166692 indicates a tropical maritime climate with potential for significant humidity and convective weather development. Pilots should anticipate potential thunderstorm activity, particularly during the wet season, which can impact visibility and approach conditions.

Notable Features

The primary runway 14/32 extends 9,843 feet, providing substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for medium-sized aircraft. The airport's moderate elevation and relatively flat surrounding terrain suggest generally stable approach and departure environments with minimal terrain-induced turbulence.

Approach Considerations

Runway 14/32's significant length allows flexibility for various aircraft types and operational requirements. Prevailing wind patterns will influence runway selection, with pilots advised to consult current meteorological data for precise wind vector information during approach and landing preparations.
