Weather Briefing

VFR

Goma International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 2 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,300 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

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 Goma International Airport

Overview

Goma International Airport serves the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, situated at a high elevation of 5,089 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports regional transportation needs in this geographically complex area of central Africa, providing critical infrastructure for air connectivity in a challenging terrain.

Flying Conditions

The high-altitude location at 5,089 feet MSL creates significant performance considerations for aircraft operations, particularly during takeoff and landing. Pilots should anticipate reduced engine and aerodynamic performance due to the airport's elevation, which will impact aircraft weight, density altitude, and overall operational capabilities.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (17/35) measuring 9,695 feet in length with an asphalt surface, providing substantial landing and takeoff space for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographic coordinates at -1.666170, 29.237929 place it in a region characterized by mountainous terrain and proximity to volcanic landscapes, which can generate complex local wind and meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 17/35 orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should carefully evaluate wind conditions and prepare for potential wind shear or turbulence related to the surrounding topographical features, utilizing the full length of the 9,695-foot runway for safe operations.
