Weather Briefing
LIFROrestes Acosta Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,600 feet and 0.4 km visibility. Note: This observation is 5008.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 6 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.4 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 3600 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Orestes Acosta Airport
Overview
Orestes Acosta Airport serves the municipality of Moa in Cuba, functioning as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 16 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 20.653900, -74.922203, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northeastern region of the island. Its single runway configuration supports regional transportation and operational needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 16 feet MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain environment with minimal altitude-related atmospheric challenges. Given its geographical location in Cuba, pilots can expect typical Caribbean maritime weather patterns characterized by warm temperatures and potential seasonal humidity variations. The airport's coastal proximity may introduce localized wind and visibility considerations during approach and departure.
Notable Features
The single runway 07/25 is constructed with asphalt (ASP) and measures 6,102 feet in length, providing substantial operational capacity for medium-sized aircraft. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during landing and takeoff, particularly given the regional wind patterns. The runway's length accommodates a range of aircraft types typical to regional and domestic operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25's extended length of 6,102 feet offers pilots flexibility in approach and landing strategies. The low elevation and asphalt surface provide relatively consistent terrain conditions throughout the year. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime wind influences and prepare for potential crosswind scenarios, particularly when utilizing the runway's primary and secondary headings.
