Weather Briefing
MVFRAeropuerto Internacional Silvio Pettirossi is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 7,000 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 5 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 7000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: SGAS, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.
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. 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 Aeropuerto Internacional Silvio Pettirossi
Overview
Aeropuerto Internacional Silvio Pettirossi serves as the primary international airport for Asunción, Paraguay, located at coordinates -25.240156, -57.519227. The airport sits at an elevation of 292 feet mean sea level and represents a crucial transportation hub for the region. Its single runway 02/20 extends an impressive 10,997 feet, accommodating large commercial and international aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Asunción's airport experiences subtropical climate conditions typical of Paraguay's central region, which can produce variable weather patterns throughout the year. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and potential convective activity, especially during summer months. The airport's relatively low elevation of 292 feet MSL provides generally stable atmospheric conditions for approach and landing.
Notable Features
The airport's runway 02/20 is constructed with asphalt, providing a robust surface for heavy aircraft operations. Its substantial 10,997-foot length allows for versatile aircraft handling, supporting wide-body international carriers and regional traffic. The geographic location near Asunción offers pilots a strategically positioned gateway for South American operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 02/20's extensive length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Pilots should review current wind conditions, as the single runway's orientation might require careful wind assessment during landing. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable, with attention to the surrounding terrain and local atmospheric conditions.
