Weather Briefing

MVFR

Okushiri Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (90°) at 17 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.

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. 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 Okushiri Airport

Overview

Okushiri Airport serves Okushiri Island, located in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. Positioned at 42.071701, 139.432999, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the island's remote location. The airport operates with a single runway (13/31) measuring 4,922 feet with an asphalted surface.

Flying Conditions

Given its coastal island location, Okushiri Airport experiences variable maritime weather conditions typical of northern Japan. The airport's elevation of 161 feet above mean sea level suggests moderate terrain interaction with potential wind shifts. Pilots should anticipate potential marine layer developments and wind patterns influenced by surrounding water bodies.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic position on Okushiri Island presents unique navigational considerations for approaching aircraft. Its medium-sized classification indicates capability for regional and smaller commercial aircraft operations. The single runway's orientation (13/31) suggests potential crosswind challenges given the island's exposed maritime environment.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31's 4,922-foot length accommodates most regional aircraft types with sufficient margin for safe operations. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variability due to the island's coastal positioning and prepare for potential crosswind landing techniques. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended given the airport's geographic complexity.
