Weather Briefing
VFRXangongo Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 6 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
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: Drizzle.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Xangongo Airport
Overview
Xangongo Airport serves the municipal area of Xangongo in Angola, positioned at coordinates -16.755400, 14.965300. As a medium airport situated at an elevation of 3,635 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential support to local economic activities.
Flying Conditions
Located at a significant elevation of 3,635 ft MSL, Xangongo Airport experiences altitude-related performance considerations for aircraft operations. The airport's asphalted runway at 7,400 feet long suggests capability for supporting medium-sized aircraft, with potential variations in performance based on local atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (03/21) oriented in a north-northeast to south-southwest direction, which can influence wind interactions and approach strategies. Its medium classification indicates infrastructure capable of supporting regional commercial, charter, or utility aviation operations in the Angolan landscape.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21's substantial 7,400-foot length provides flexibility for various aircraft approach profiles and operational requirements. Pilots should carefully assess airport elevation, potential terrain interactions, and prepare for performance calculations specific to the 3,635 ft MSL environment when planning arrivals or departures.
