Weather Briefing
VFRCFB Trenton is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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: Light Showers Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, FCST. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 15:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 06:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.
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 CFB Trenton
CFB Trenton is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the CA AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
CFB Trenton is a medium airport located in Trenton, Ontario, serving as an important military aviation facility. Situated at an elevation of 283 feet MSL, the airport provides critical infrastructure for Canadian Armed Forces operations in the region. Its strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure make it a key transportation hub.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at CFB Trenton demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 67% of the time. Pilots can expect temperature ranges from -21°C to 27°C, with an average of 3.1°C. Wind patterns are predominantly westerly at 7.6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots, making careful wind assessment critical during flight planning.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: the primary 06/24 runway extending 10,000 feet, and a secondary 13/31 runway measuring 3,025 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind conditions (3.9 knots for 06/24 and 5.3 knots for 13/31). Visibility averages 12.3 statute miles, with rare instances of reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. With calm wind conditions occurring 5.8% of the time, pilots should be prepared for potential wind variability. The long primary runway provides excellent landing options, while the secondary runway offers additional operational flexibility during changing meteorological conditions.
