Weather Briefing
VFRBillings Logan International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,600 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 21 knots with gusts to 33 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 21-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component (gusting to 6 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 3600 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 3°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 23 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light RASN. Winds are forecast to reach up to 30 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 15 to 30 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 07:00Z and 08:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations. 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 Billings Logan International Airport
Overview
Billings Logan International Airport serves as a key aviation hub in Montana, located at an elevation of 3,652 feet MSL in the city of Billings. The airport features three paved runways, with the longest runway 10L/28R extending 10,518 feet, capable of handling a wide range of aircraft operations. Its strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure make it an important regional transportation facility.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable VFR conditions 87.8% of the time, with minimal periods of reduced visibility. Winds predominantly come from the southwest at an average of 10.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 47 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -21°C to 31°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations and aircraft operations.
Notable Features
Situated at a moderate elevation of 3,652 feet, the airport presents typical high-altitude considerations for aircraft performance and density altitude effects. The three parallel runways (07/25, 10L/28R, and 10R/28L) offer multiple approach options and wind compatibility, with each runway showing 100% favorable wind alignment. The geographic location suggests potential for mountain wave and thermal activity typical of the Montana terrain.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently favorable wind conditions across all runways, with average crosswinds between 4.7 and 6.5 knots. Seasonal VFR conditions are most stable during September, January, and November. The extensive 10,518-foot primary runway (10L/28R) provides ample landing and takeoff options for diverse aircraft types, with generally good visibility averaging 9.7 statute miles.
