Weather Briefing
VFRMajor Justino Mariño Cuesto Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,000 feet and 9 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 5 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 km. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,400 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: DZRA. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 20:00Z and 22:00Z.
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. 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 Major Justino Mariño Cuesto Air Base
Major Justino Mariño Cuesto Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the CO AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Major Justino Mariño Cuesto Air Base (SKMA) is located in Madrid, CO at an elevation of 8,325 feet MSL, making density altitude a consideration for performance planning. The airport has 1 runway (06/24), with the longest at 6,070 feet.
Airport Overview
Major Justino Mariño Cuesto Air Base serves Madrid in CO. As a smaller airfield, services may be limited. Pilots should verify fuel availability and operating hours before arrival. The airport features 1 runway (06/24) with asp surface. The longest runway measures 6,070 feet, accommodating most general aviation and regional aircraft.
Elevation Considerations
At 8325 feet elevation, this is a high-altitude airport where density altitude significantly impacts aircraft performance. Pilots should carefully calculate takeoff and landing distances, especially during hot weather. Turbocharging or turbine power is advantageous for operations here.
Flight Planning
For current NOTAMs and operational information, consult the local aviation authority publications. Weather data including METAR and TAF reports are typically available from nearby reporting stations if not directly from this airport. Before flight, verify current conditions through official channels and check Jeppesen or national AIP for the latest aeronautical information.
Weather Information
When METAR observations are not available directly from SKMA, pilots can reference weather from nearby airports shown above. Consider distance and terrain differences when using alternate weather sources. For official flight planning, always use approved weather briefing services.
