Weather Briefing
LIFRJuan Jose Rondon Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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 Juan Jose Rondon Airport
Juan Jose Rondon Airport (SKPA/RON) is located in Paipa, CO at an elevation of 8,205 feet MSL, making density altitude a consideration for performance planning. The airport has 1 runway (05/23), with the longest at 5,382 feet.
Airport Overview
Juan Jose Rondon Airport serves Paipa 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 (05/23) with asp surface. The longest runway measures 5,382 feet, accommodating most general aviation and regional aircraft.
Elevation Considerations
At 8205 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 SKPA, 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.
