Weather Briefing
VFRToamasina Ambalamanasy Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 24 knots with gusts to 34 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 23-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component (gusting to 12 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3300 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations. 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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Toamasina Ambalamanasy Airport
Overview
Toamasina Ambalamanasy Airport serves the coastal city of Toamasina in Madagascar, operating as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 22 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates -18.109501, 49.392502, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the eastern region of Madagascar, supporting regional and potentially limited international operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 84.6% of observed weather patterns supporting visual flight rules. Prevailing winds consistently blow from the east at an average of 5.7 knots, with occasional gusts up to 24 knots. Temperature variations range from 16°C to 34°C, with an average of 25.3°C, presenting stable and predictable environmental conditions for pilots.
Notable Features
The single runway 01/19 extends 7,218 feet with an asphalted surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff capabilities. Pilots can expect minimal crosswind challenges, with an average crosswind of only 3.8 knots and 100% wind favorability for the primary runway orientation. The low elevation and coastal location suggest minimal terrain-related complications for approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months, providing optimal weather conditions for operations. Pilots should anticipate easterly winds and prepare standard approaches to runway 01/19. With consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles and essentially no reported fog events, instrument approaches should be straightforward under most meteorological conditions.
