Weather Briefing

VFR

Cha Eian Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 10 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,800 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Cha Eian Airport

Overview

Cha Eian Airport serves the Nakhon Si Thammarat province in Thailand, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the region. Located at coordinates 8.471150, 99.955597, this medium-sized airport operates at an elevation of 44 feet mean sea level, supporting regional and potential commercial aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

Southern Thailand's tropical climate influences airport conditions, with potential significant seasonal weather variations between dry and wet periods. Pilots should anticipate humidity and potential convective activity typical of the coastal geographic region, with wind patterns potentially affecting the 18/36 runway alignment.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (18/36) measuring 7,546 feet with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its relatively low elevation of 44 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain challenges, with coastal plain characteristics surrounding the airport environment.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36 provides a substantial 7,546-foot landing surface, offering flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Pilots should evaluate wind direction and runway orientation when planning approaches, considering the single runway's longitudinal alignment and potential crosswind considerations.
