Weather Briefing

MVFR

San Isidro Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Light Rain.

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 San Isidro Air Base

San Isidro Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the DO AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

San Isidro Air Base is a medium airport located in San Isidro, Dominican Republic, serving an important regional aviation role. Situated at an elevation of 111 feet mean sea level, the airport provides strategic aviation infrastructure in this part of the Dominican Republic. Its ICAO code MDSI identifies it within international aviation communication and navigation systems.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation at 111 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of Caribbean coastal regions. Pilots can expect generally consistent weather patterns, with potential variations influenced by seasonal tropical maritime air masses. The airport's geographical position near the coast may introduce occasional wind shifts and localized weather developments.

Notable Features

San Isidro Air Base features a single runway (03/21) measuring 7,000 feet with an asphalt (ASP) surface. The runway's substantial length accommodates a variety of aircraft types and provides operational flexibility for different aviation missions. Its precise coordinates (18.503700, -69.761703) place it in a strategically accessible location within the Dominican Republic's transportation infrastructure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 offers bidirectional approach capabilities, with pilots selecting runway ends based on prevailing wind conditions. The 7,000-foot asphalt runway provides sufficient length for most medium-sized aircraft operations, supporting consistent and reliable approach and departure procedures. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during flight planning and approach preparation.
