Weather Briefing
VFRAitutaki Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 17 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 16-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Aitutaki Airport
Aitutaki Airport (NCAI/AIT) is located in Aitutaki, CK at an elevation of 14 feet MSL. The airport has 2 runways (09/27, 14/32), with the longest at 5,920 feet.
Weather Profile
Based on 4,668 weather observations, NCAI experiences excellent VFR conditions 94.9% of the time, making it one of the more weather-reliable airports in its region.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at NCAI come from the E (90°) with an average speed of 10.4 knots and recorded gusts up to 28 knots. Calm winds are rare (0.1%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 09/27 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 4.7 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are November, March, February, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from 20°C (68°F) to 87°C (189°F), averaging 28.3°C (83°F). High temperatures can significantly impact aircraft performance through increased density altitude. Altimeter settings typically range from 10.02 to 10.18 inHg (339-345 hPa).
