Weather Briefing

VFR

General Francisco J. Mujica International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,500 feet and 8 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 12 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,500 ft (TCU), scattered at 28,000 ft. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

The airport provides medium-sized airport infrastructure for regional and commercial aviation operations in the central Mexican plateau region. Its strategic location and substantial runway length of 11,155 feet accommodate a variety of aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

The airport predominantly experiences Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 82.3% of observations supporting clear weather operations. Pilots can expect consistent southern winds averaging 4.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 29 knots. Temperature variations range from 0°C to 29°C, with an average of 15.5°C, and visibility typically around 6.6 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport's high elevation at 6,033 feet requires careful performance calculations for aircraft operations. Its single runway (05/23) is asphalted and offers consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The surrounding terrain of the Mexican plateau may present potential orographic wind and turbulence considerations for approaching aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23 offers excellent wind coverage, with an average crosswind of only 2.9 knots. The best Visual Flight Rules months are December, October, and November, providing optimal flying conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility during foggy periods, which occur in approximately 5% of observations.
