Weather Briefing
VFRNinoy Aquino International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 6 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating moderate moisture 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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Ninoy Aquino International Airport
Overview
Ninoy Aquino International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Manila, Philippines, located in Pasay City. As a large airport situated at 75 feet above mean sea level, it handles significant commercial and international air traffic for the metropolitan Manila region.
Flying Conditions
Manila's tropical climate presents variable weather conditions for pilots, with pronounced wet and dry seasons affecting visibility and potential convective activity. The airport's low elevation at 75 ft MSL and proximity to coastal regions can result in humidity-related meteorological challenges during approach and landing.
Notable Features
The airport features two substantial concrete runways: a primary 12,261-foot runway (06/24) and a secondary 7,408-foot runway (13/31). Its strategic location at coordinates 14.508600, 121.019997 positions the airport within a densely populated urban environment, requiring precise navigation and awareness of surrounding terrain and urban infrastructure.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will depend on prevailing wind conditions, with the longer 06/24 runway offering more operational flexibility for larger aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential congestion and complex air traffic management due to the airport's high-volume operations in a concentrated metropolitan airspace.
