Weather Briefing
VFRHunter Army Air Field is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 15,000 feet and 10 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 7 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 15000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Mist.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Hunter Army Air Field
Hunter Army Air Field is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the US AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Hunter Army Air Field (KSVN) is a medium-sized airport located in Savannah, Georgia, serving military and potentially joint civilian-military aviation operations. Situated at a low elevation of 41 feet mean sea level, the airport provides strategic aviation capabilities in the southeastern United States coastal region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Hunter Army Air Field predominantly support visual flight rules (VFR), with 76.4% of observations indicating favorable flying conditions. Temperature ranges from -5°C to 34°C, creating variable atmospheric conditions throughout the year. Pilots can expect westerly winds averaging 6.3 knots, with calm conditions occurring 28.1% of the time and occasional gusts up to 26 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (10/28) with an impressive length of 11,375 feet, constructed with asphalt surface. The runway demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and a relatively low average crosswind of 3.7 knots. Visibility averages 9.6 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility (below 3 miles occurring in only 1.3% of observations).
Approach Considerations
November, January, and September represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. The long runway and predictable wind patterns provide flexible approach options, with westerly winds being the prevailing meteorological characteristic. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions during 13.7% of observations, requiring appropriate flight planning and alternates.
