Weather Briefing

IFR

Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 700 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (80°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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 24 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: Mist, Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 12:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 00:00Z and 08:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella Airport

Overview

Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella Airport serves Cordoba, Argentina as a medium-sized airport with significant regional importance. Located at coordinates -31.323601, -64.208000 and elevated at 1604 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Cordoba metropolitan area.

Flying Conditions

Situated at moderate elevation, the airport experiences typical inland Argentine climate conditions with potential for variable wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and temperature-related performance considerations given the 1604 ft MSL elevation.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial runways: a longer 10,499 ft concrete runway (01/19) and a secondary 7,218 ft asphalt runway (05/23). These runway configurations provide operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions, allowing multiple approach and departure options.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19's significant length of 10,499 ft provides ample landing and takeoff space for most commercial and regional aircraft. The crosswind runway 05/23 offers additional operational flexibility, particularly during wind shifts or when primary runway conditions are compromised.
