Weather Briefing

VFR

Jeongseok Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 7 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 16:00Z and 22:00Z.

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. 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 Jeongseok Airport

Overview

Jeongseok Airport is located on Jeju Island, South Korea, serving as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 1171 feet mean sea level. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for Jeju Island, positioned at coordinates 33.399601, 126.711998. Its strategic location supports regional transportation and connectivity for the island.

Flying Conditions

Situated on an island environment, Jeongseok Airport experiences maritime-influenced weather conditions typical of coastal regions. The airport's elevation at 1171 feet MSL suggests potential for variable wind conditions and potential orographic effects. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and turbulence associated with the island's topography.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary runway 01/19 measuring 7589 feet in length, and a secondary runway 15/33 measuring 4974 feet. The substantial primary runway length provides flexibility for diverse aircraft operations, while the secondary runway offers additional operational redundancy. The island's terrain and coastal positioning may introduce unique atmospheric and wind considerations for pilots.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, with 01/19 and 15/33 providing different approach options based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway selection during arrival and departure. The substantial runway length, particularly on runway 01/19, accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and provides operational margin for safe landings and takeoffs.
