Weather Briefing

MVFR

Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,400 feet.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (260°) at 15 knots with gusts to 22 knots. Runway 33 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 14-knot crosswind component (gusting to 21 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

The ceiling is 2400 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility

Overview

Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility (KTTS) is located in Titusville, Florida, serving as a strategic medium airport with a substantial 15,000-foot concrete runway. Situated at a low elevation of 10 feet MSL, the airport plays a significant role in supporting aerospace operations in the Kennedy Space Center region.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions at KTTS, with 81.5% of observations reporting visual flight rules. The airport experiences mild winds primarily from the north, averaging 4.9 knots with calm conditions occurring 36.6% of the time. Temperature ranges from 3°C to 34°C, with the most favorable VFR months being November, January, and October.

Notable Features

The airport's extensive 15,000-foot runway (15/33) provides exceptional operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Its coastal Florida location offers generally stable weather conditions, with high visibility averaging 9.7 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (0.7% of observations). The runway has near-perfect wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33 presents minimal crosswind challenges, with an average crosswind of only 3.1 knots. Pilots can anticipate consistent approach conditions, particularly during the peak VFR months. The low elevation and open terrain contribute to predictable approach and landing characteristics.
