Weather Briefing

VFR

Coto 47 Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 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 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 20:00Z and 00:00Z.

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. 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 Coto 47 Airport

Overview

Coto 47 Airport serves the Corredores region in Costa Rica as a medium-sized airport situated at 26 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 8.601560, -82.968754, this airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the local area, supporting regional connectivity and operational needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 26 ft MSL suggests a relatively stable atmospheric environment with minimal terrain-induced turbulence. While specific local meteorological data is not provided, pilots should anticipate typical tropical coastal weather patterns characteristic of southwestern Costa Rica, which can include periodic precipitation and potential wind variations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (18/36) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,281 feet in length. Its geographic positioning near the Costa Rican-Panamanian border indicates potential crosswind and terrain considerations that pilots should assess during pre-flight planning and approach preparation.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36 provides a standard orientation for approaches, with potential wind-dependent preferences. Pilots should carefully evaluate runway length limitations, noting the 3,281-foot asphalt surface requires precise landing and takeoff performance calculations, especially for larger aircraft or during challenging meteorological conditions.
