Weather Briefing
VFRLa Florida Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (90°) at 10 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 4°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 remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About La Florida Airport
Overview
La Florida Airport serves the La Serena-Coquimbo region in Chile, functioning as a medium-sized airport at 481 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates -29.916201, -71.199501, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the coastal region. Its single runway 12/30 stretches 6,358 feet with an asphalt surface, supporting various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Flight conditions at La Florida Airport demonstrate predominantly favorable weather, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions present 57.3% of the time. Marginal VFR occurs 30.7% of observations, while instrument flight rules (IFR) and low IFR conditions are less common at 8% and 4% respectively. The airport experiences consistent westerly winds averaging 7.3 knots, with temperatures ranging from 8°C to 24°C and an average of 15.4°C.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical positioning in the coastal region of Chile suggests potential for variable terrain and wind conditions. Westerly winds dominate at 270 degrees, with maximum recorded speeds of 18 knots. Calm wind conditions are observed in 3.4% of recorded observations, indicating generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 2.7 knots. Visibility typically remains excellent at an average of 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility. Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions particularly during November, December, and September months.
