Weather Briefing
VFRWinnipeg / St. Andrews Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 9 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -2°C (28°F) with a dewpoint of -5°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 15:00Z and 19:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Winnipeg / St. Andrews Airport
Overview
Winnipeg / St. Andrews Airport (CYAV) is a medium-sized airport located near Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Situated at an elevation of 760 feet MSL, the airport serves the regional aviation needs of the Winnipeg metropolitan area and surrounding communities. Its strategic location provides important aviation infrastructure for general aviation, potentially local commercial, and potentially training operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's three asphalt runways suggest adaptability to various wind conditions. With runways oriented at 04/22 (2850ft), 13/31 (3000ft), and 18/36 (3000ft), pilots have multiple options for approach and departure depending on wind direction. The moderate elevation and multiple runway configurations indicate potential for consistent operational flexibility across different seasonal weather patterns.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical coordinates (50.056400, -97.032501) place it in the relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Manitoba prairie region. The presence of three runways of similar length suggests the airport is designed to accommodate a variety of aircraft types and operational requirements. Its proximity to Winnipeg indicates potential interactions with complex regional airspace structures.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should be prepared to utilize different runways based on wind conditions, with the three available runways providing multiple approach options. The airport's runway lengths ranging from 2850 to 3000 feet suggest suitability for smaller to medium-sized aircraft. Standard considerations for prairie airport approaches, including potential wind variability and terrain characteristics, should be factored into flight planning.
