Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 11,000 ft, scattered at 24,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: FCST.
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.

About Thicket Portage Airport
Overview
Thicket Portage Airport serves the remote community of Thicket Portage in Manitoba, Canada, located at coordinates 55.318901, -97.707802. As a medium airport situated at 678 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for northern Manitoba's isolated regions, supporting essential regional connectivity.
Flying Conditions
The airport's northern latitude at 55.3 degrees means experiencing significant seasonal weather variations with potentially challenging winter conditions. Pilots should anticipate variable winds and rapid meteorological changes typical of Manitoba's subarctic climate, particularly given the airport's exposed geographical location.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (12/30) constructed of crushed rock, measuring 2,220 feet in length. Its elevated position at 678 feet MSL and surrounding terrain suggest potential turbulence and wind gradient considerations for approaching and departing aircraft, requiring careful navigation and approach planning.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30's crushed rock surface demands heightened awareness of surface conditions, particularly during seasonal transitions. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight assessments of current surface conditions and be prepared for potential reduced braking effectiveness compared to paved surfaces, especially during wet or freezing conditions.
