Weather Briefing

MVFR

Jeongseok Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,000 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 7 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 3000 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 29 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Rain.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Jeongseok Airport

Overview

Jeongseok Airport is located on Jeju Island, South Korea, serving as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 1171 feet mean sea level. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for Jeju Island, positioned at coordinates 33.399601, 126.711998. Its strategic location supports regional transportation and connectivity for the island.

Flying Conditions

Situated on an island environment, Jeongseok Airport experiences maritime-influenced weather conditions typical of coastal regions. The airport's elevation at 1171 feet MSL suggests potential for variable wind conditions and potential orographic effects. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and turbulence associated with the island's topography.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary runway 01/19 measuring 7589 feet in length, and a secondary runway 15/33 measuring 4974 feet. The substantial primary runway length provides flexibility for diverse aircraft operations, while the secondary runway offers additional operational redundancy. The island's terrain and coastal positioning may introduce unique atmospheric and wind considerations for pilots.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, with 01/19 and 15/33 providing different approach options based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway selection during arrival and departure. The substantial runway length, particularly on runway 01/19, accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and provides operational margin for safe landings and takeoffs.
