VFR

Itaituba Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft, few at 2,500 ft (TCU). Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.

As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 110 feet MSL, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this remote area. The airport supports regional connectivity and serves as an important logistical hub for the surrounding Amazon basin.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 87.5% of observations showing clear weather. Prevailing winds from the northeast at an average of 5 knots create stable flying conditions, with a maximum wind speed of 15 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 22°C to 37°C, with an average of 30°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations.

Notable Features

Located at coordinates -4.242131, -56.000651, the airport is positioned in a tropical environment with challenging terrain characteristic of the Amazon region. The single runway 05/23 is 5,577 feet long with an asphalt surface, providing adequate length for medium-sized aircraft operations. Wind data indicates 100% favorable wind conditions for the runway, with an average crosswind of only 2.2 knots.

Approach Considerations

October through November offer the best visual flying conditions, with minimal meteorological challenges. The runway orientation allows for consistent wind-aligned approaches, with minimal crosswind interference. Pilots should note the extremely low occurrence of adverse weather, with IFR conditions present in only 1% of observations and virtually no instances of low instrument conditions (LIFR).
