Weather Briefing

MVFR

Pinang Kampai Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,700 feet and 7 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,000 ft, scattered at 2,700 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°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.

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: Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z.

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.

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

About Pinang Kampai Airport

Overview

Pinang Kampai Airport serves the city of Dumai in Indonesia, located at coordinates 1.609114, 101.433492. As a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 55 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs. The airport supports regional connectivity for Riau Province in Sumatra.

Flying Conditions

Being located near the equator, Pinang Kampai experiences consistent tropical maritime weather conditions with high humidity and potential thunderstorm activity. The airport's low elevation of 55 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain-induced weather variations. Pilots should anticipate potential convective weather typical of the Indonesian maritime environment.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (03/21) with an asphalt surface measuring 5,905 feet in length. Its geographical position near the east coast of Sumatra indicates potential maritime wind influences and coastal meteorological dynamics. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind conditions depending on prevailing wind patterns.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21's substantial length of 5,905 feet provides adequate operational flexibility for most regional aircraft types. The asphalt surface and low elevation should provide relatively stable approach conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential tropical weather variations and conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during approach planning.
