Weather Briefing

VFR

Forestville Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 11,000 feet and 30 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 5 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 30 SM. The ceiling is 11000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 0°C (32°F) with a dewpoint of -3°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Snow, FCST. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 20:00Z and 23:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Snow, FCST between 06:00Z and 08:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Forestville Airport

Overview

Forestville Airport (CYFE) is a medium-sized airport located in Forestville, California, situated at an elevation of 293 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the local aviation community with its primary runway 09/27, which offers a substantial 5,000-foot asphalt surface for aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Positioned at coordinates 48.746101, -69.097198, the airport experiences typical coastal California weather patterns with potential variability. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts given the runway's 09/27 orientation, which may require careful wind assessment during approach and landing.

Notable Features

The airport's moderate elevation of 293 feet suggests a relatively flat terrain surrounding the airfield. The 5,000-foot asphalt runway provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft, supporting a range of general aviation and potentially regional commercial operations.

Approach Considerations

With a runway aligned at 09/27, pilots should be prepared to adjust approach based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial 5,000-foot runway length offers flexibility for different aircraft types, providing sufficient margin for safe landings and takeoffs under standard operating conditions.
