Weather Briefing
VFRCoban Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered 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. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,800 ft, few at 20,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Coban Airport
Overview
Coban Airport serves the municipal area of Coban in central Guatemala, situated at a significant elevation of 4,339 feet mean sea level. The medium-sized airport provides essential regional aviation connectivity in a mountainous terrain environment, supporting local transportation needs with its single asphalt runway.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Coban Airport demonstrate significant variability, with marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions predominating at 47.3% of observations. Pilots can expect predominantly easterly winds averaging 4.7 knots, with calm conditions occurring in 45.7% of recorded periods. The temperature range between 8°C and 29°C offers relatively stable thermal conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation at 4,339 feet MSL presents performance considerations for aircraft operations, particularly during warmer temperatures. The single runway (03/21) measures 3,340 feet in length, which requires careful performance planning for various aircraft types. Terrain surrounding the airport likely includes mountainous landscapes typical of central Guatemala's topographical characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 benefits from highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2.6 knots. Pilots should note the best VFR months are September, January, and October, which offer the most consistently favorable visual flying conditions. The consistently good visibility (average 10 statute miles) supports relatively straightforward approach and landing operations.
