Weather Briefing
VFRGeneral Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 5 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,000 ft, scattered at 20,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C, indicating very 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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 22:00Z and 02:00Z.
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 General Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport
Overview
General Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport serves Chihuahua, Mexico as a medium-sized airport located at 4,462 feet above mean sea level. The airport features three asphalt runways, providing significant operational flexibility for aircraft serving the Chihuahua region. Its strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure support both commercial and potentially military aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences exceptionally consistent visual flight conditions, with 99.1% of observations recording VFR weather. Winds predominantly originate from the east at an average of 6.8 knots, with occasional maximum gusts up to 56 knots. Temperature ranges from -4°C to 35°C, with an average of 19.3°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions for flight operations.
Notable Features
Located at a significant elevation of 4,462 feet MSL, the airport presents considerations for aircraft performance and density altitude effects. The three runways (05/23, 18L/36R, and 18R/36L) range from 3,609 to 8,530 feet in length, offering diverse operational capabilities. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components between 3.7 and 4.1 knots.
Approach Considerations
November, December, and October represent the best months for visual flight conditions at this airport. Pilots can expect consistent wind patterns from the east, which align favorably with all three runways. The exceptionally low occurrence of reduced visibility (only 0.1% fog reports) and zero IFR conditions suggest generally straightforward approach and landing environments.
