Weather Briefing

MVFR

Rubem Berta Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,000 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 5 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 14°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Rubem Berta Airport

Overview

Rubem Berta Airport serves Uruguaiana, a border city in Brazil located near Argentina. The airport is classified as a medium airport with an elevation of 256 feet above mean sea level, situated at coordinates -29.782200, -57.038200. It provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potentially cross-border operations.

Flying Conditions

Located in southern Brazil, the airport experiences variable weather conditions typical of the region. The airport's elevation of 256 feet suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for stable approach conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal wind variations that could impact runway selection and approach strategies.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways with distinct surface compositions: runway 4/22 is a grass surface measuring 2,625 feet, while runway 9/27 is an asphalt surface extending 4,921 feet. The longer asphalt runway provides more versatile operational capabilities and likely supports a wider range of aircraft types. The grass runway offers an alternative surface option for specific operational requirements.

Approach Considerations

Runway 9/27's longer asphalt surface at 4,921 feet presents the primary operational runway for most aircraft. Prevailing wind conditions will determine the most appropriate runway for landing and takeoff. Pilots should carefully assess surface conditions, particularly for the grass runway 4/22, and plan approaches accordingly based on current meteorological data and aircraft performance characteristics.
