Weather Briefing
MVFRDelaware County Johnson Field is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 5,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 8 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 Delaware County Johnson Field
Overview
Delaware County Johnson Field serves Muncie, Indiana as a medium-sized airport facilitating regional aviation operations. Located at 40.242298, -85.395897 with an elevation of 937 feet MSL, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for east-central Indiana. Its dual runway configuration supports diverse general aviation and potential commercial traffic.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KMIE demonstrate predominantly favorable flying environments, with 63% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Annual temperature ranges from -20°C to 33°C create variable seasonal flying challenges. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 8.6 knots with occasional gusts up to 28 knots characterize the airport's wind profile, with calm conditions occurring 15% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 02/20 at 4,998 feet and Runway 14/32 at 6,500 feet, offering substantial operational flexibility. Both runways demonstrate 100% wind compatibility, with modest average crosswind components around 5.9 and 5.8 knots respectively. Visibility consistently averages 8.9 statute miles, supporting reliable visual operations.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and January represent the most consistent VFR months for pilots planning operations at KMIE. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility scenarios, with 2.7% of observations reporting visibility below 3 statute miles and 1.8% experiencing fog conditions. Wind-aligned approaches are generally straightforward given the runway configurations and prevailing westerly winds.
