Weather Briefing
IFRFredericton Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 800 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 6 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 3°C (37°F) with a dewpoint of 2°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 10 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Showers Rain, Mist, FCST, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 08:00Z and 11:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 11:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with FCST, FCST between 15:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Fredericton Airport
Overview
Fredericton Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in New Brunswick, Canada, positioned at 45.868900, -66.537201 with an elevation of 68 feet MSL. The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 09/27 at 8,005 feet and Runway 15/33 at 6,000 feet, accommodating regional and commercial aviation needs in the area.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate variable conditions with significant VFR potential, averaging 57.8% VFR days throughout the year. Temperature ranges dramatically from -23°C to 30°C, with prevailing westerly winds at an average of 7.3 knots and occasional gusts up to 33 knots. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months, with higher visibility and more stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with both runways demonstrating 100% favorable wind alignments. Crosswind conditions are moderate, averaging 4.4 knots on Runway 09/27 and 5.1 knots on Runway 15/33. Visibility averages 7.9 statute miles, with occasional reduced conditions including 3.7% of observations below 3 statute miles and 2.3% experiencing fog.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate westerly winds as the predominant wind direction, with a calm wind frequency of 6.5%. The extensive runway lengths (8,005 and 6,000 feet) provide substantial landing and takeoff options. During challenging weather, the airport experiences 10.6% IFR and 3.7% LIFR conditions, requiring increased approach planning and potential alternate airport considerations.
