Weather Briefing

VFR

Bonaventure Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 6,000 feet and 9 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 4500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is -1°C (30°F) with a dewpoint of -4°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.

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.

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

About Bonaventure Airport

Overview

Bonaventure Airport (CYVB) is a medium-sized airport located in Bonaventure, Canada, positioned at coordinates 48.071098, -65.460297. Situated at an elevation of 123 feet mean sea level, the airport serves regional transportation needs in the Gaspé Peninsula region of Quebec. Its strategic location provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding coastal area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 123 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potential maritime weather influences. Being located near the Gulf of St. Lawrence, pilots can expect variable wind conditions and potential rapid weather changes. Seasonal transitions may significantly impact local meteorological conditions, particularly during maritime winter and early spring periods.

Notable Features

Bonaventure Airport features a single runway (13/31) with an asphalt surface measuring 5,985 feet in length. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, with a northeast/southwest alignment typical of regional Canadian airports. The substantial runway length accommodates a range of aircraft types and provides operational flexibility for different aviation requirements.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31's orientation indicates potential wind variability during approaches, requiring pilots to carefully assess current meteorological conditions. The 5,985-foot runway length supports most regional and medium-sized aircraft operations, providing adequate landing and takeoff margins. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences when planning approaches, particularly during seasonal transition periods.
