Weather Briefing

MVFR

Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,200 feet and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 9 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Wind data is not available.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,200 ft, few at 1,800 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport

Overview

Koulamoutou Mabimbi Airport serves the Gabon region with a medium-sized airport infrastructure located at coordinates -1.184610, 12.441300. Positioned at an elevation of 1070 feet mean sea level, the airport provides essential aviation services for the Koulamoutou area, supporting regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1070 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment that may experience typical equatorial climate variations. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and temperature fluctuations characteristic of the Gabonese geographical region, which can impact aircraft performance and operational considerations.

Notable Features

The single runway 15/33 measures 5,841 feet in length and is constructed with an asphalt surface (ASP). This runway configuration provides sufficient length for medium-sized aircraft operations and offers flexibility for approaches from two primary directions based on the 15/33 orientation.

Approach Considerations

Given the runway's 15/33 orientation, pilots should be prepared to select approach directions based on prevailing wind conditions. The 5,841-foot asphalt runway provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft, with careful attention to elevation and potential local terrain features during approach and departure procedures.
