Weather Briefing
VFRMinister Pistarini International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Minister Pistarini International Airport
Overview
Minister Pistarini International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Buenos Aires, Argentina, located in Ezeiza, approximately 35 kilometers southwest of the city center. As a large airport with significant elevation at 67 ft MSL, it handles major international and intercontinental passenger and cargo traffic for the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
Buenos Aires experiences variable weather conditions typical of a temperate climate, with potential for significant wind shifts across the two substantial runways. The airport's two asphalt runways (11/29 at 10,827 ft and 17/35 at 10,187 ft) provide excellent operational flexibility for aircraft handling diverse meteorological scenarios.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic positioning at -34.822200, -58.535800 places it in a relatively flat region surrounding Buenos Aires, which minimizes significant terrain challenges for approach and departure. With two long runways exceeding 10,000 feet, the airport can accommodate wide-body aircraft and provide substantial operational resilience during varying weather conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 and 17/35 offer complementary operational capabilities, allowing pilots to select the most appropriate surface based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths provide ample landing and takeoff margins for heavy commercial aircraft, with options to adjust approach strategies based on current meteorological parameters.
