Weather Briefing
IFRAlfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,000 feet.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 6 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport
Overview
Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport serves Leticia, a strategic city located in Colombia's Amazon region near the borders of Peru and Brazil. As a medium-sized airport at 277 ft MSL, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the remote southeastern Colombian Amazon territory, connecting this isolated region to major national and international destinations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at SKLT are predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR), with 75.6% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Temperatures consistently range between 21°C and 35°C, averaging 26.1°C, which can impact aircraft performance. Wind patterns are predictable, with a northern prevailing direction at an average of 4 knots and occasional gusts up to 15 knots.
Notable Features
The airport is situated in a challenging Amazon basin environment, characterized by tropical terrain and proximity to dense rainforest. Runway 03/21 offers 6,168 feet of asphalted surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's geographic position provides unique navigational challenges due to surrounding topographical features and potential microclimate variations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 demonstrates favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2.1 knots. Pilots should note the statistically favorable VFR conditions in December, September, and November. Minimal fog occurrence (2.3%) and consistently high visibility (average 10 statute miles) generally support straightforward approach and landing procedures.
