Weather Briefing
VFRThe Pas Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,600 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (360°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 6000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -23°C (-9°F) with a dewpoint of -27°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 12 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Snow, FCST, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow, FCST, FCST between 13:00Z and 19:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About The Pas Airport
Overview
The Pas Airport serves the community of The Pas in Manitoba, Canada, operating as a critical regional transportation hub for northern transportation. Located at 53.971401, -101.091003 with an elevation of 887 ft MSL, the airport provides essential access to this remote northern region, supporting commercial, charter, and potentially resource industry flight operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at The Pas Airport demonstrate significant variability, with VFR conditions prevailing 55.4% of the time and MVFR conditions present 33% of observations. Temperature ranges dramatically from -34°C to 28°C, with an average of -6.6°C, presenting potential challenges for aircraft performance and cold-weather operations. Visibility averages 7.8 statute miles, with rare but notable periods of reduced visibility.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (13/31) measuring 5,901 feet with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Prevailing winds from the west (270°) average 9.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots. The runway exhibits favorable wind alignment, with wind conditions supporting operations 100% of the time and an average crosswind component of just 3.8 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate west-southwest wind conditions when planning arrivals and departures. September, January, and October represent the most consistent VFR months, offering the most predictable flying conditions. With calm wind conditions occurring only 2.4% of the time, most approaches can expect some degree of wind interaction, though typically mild crosswind components.
