Weather Briefing
VFRCaptain Rogelio Castillo National Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 12,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 11 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 12000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C, indicating moderate moisture 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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Haze, Rain, Drizzle, Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 21:00Z and 01:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Drizzle, Mist between 10:00Z and 14:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Captain Rogelio Castillo National Airport
Overview
Captain Rogelio Castillo National Airport serves the Celaya region in Mexico, positioned at an elevation of 5,709 feet mean sea level. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the central Mexican state, supporting regional commercial and general aviation operations. Its medium-sized classification indicates substantial capacity for varied aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Located at significant altitude, the airport's 5,709 ft elevation will impact aircraft performance, particularly during warmer months and with higher gross weights. The airport's geographic position suggests potential for variable wind conditions along the 08/26 runway heading. Pilots should anticipate density altitude effects and plan accordingly for takeoff and landing performance.
Notable Features
The single runway (08/26) measures 6,284 feet in length and is constructed of asphalt, providing adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's coordinates at 20.545998, -100.886539 place it in a terrain-transitional zone that may involve complex local wind patterns and potential mechanical turbulence. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning with these geographical considerations in mind.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 offers a straight-in approach with consistent asphalt surface conditions. Given the runway's orientation, prevailing wind patterns will likely influence approach and landing preferences. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and velocity, recognizing the potential for crosswind components at this elevation.
