Weather Briefing
MVFRDolbeau-Saint-Felicien Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,700 feet and 8 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 8 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 SM. The ceiling is 2700 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 3°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 6 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: Light Showers Rain, FCST. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 20:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with FCST between 01:00Z 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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Dolbeau-Saint-Felicien Airport
Overview
Dolbeau-Saint-Felicien Airport serves the regional transportation needs in Quebec's Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean area. Located at coordinates 48.778500, -72.375000, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding municipalities. The airport sits at an elevation of 372 feet above mean sea level, positioning it in a moderately elevated terrain region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's latitude and elevation suggest variable seasonal weather conditions typical of northeastern Quebec. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and temperature variations that could impact aircraft performance, especially during transition seasons. The single runway (11/29) measuring 4,971 feet with an asphalt surface provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations.
Notable Features
Dolbeau-Saint-Felicien Airport's single runway configuration requires precise navigation and wind awareness during approach and departure. The airport's geographical location in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region means surrounding terrain may influence local wind patterns and create potential mechanical turbulence. Pilots should maintain heightened situational awareness regarding terrain and potential meteorological variations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 offers a straightforward approach environment with its 4,971-foot asphalt surface. Prevailing wind conditions will likely determine the preferred runway direction, with pilots expected to conduct standard runway selection protocols. Given the airport's modest elevation and regional setting, standard instrument approach procedures should be carefully reviewed prior to arrival.
