Weather Briefing
VFRFrancisco Bangoy International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 9,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 9000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Light Rain. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain between 14:00Z and 20:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Francisco Bangoy International Airport
Overview
Francisco Bangoy International Airport serves as the primary aviation gateway for Davao City, located in the southern Philippines. Situated at 7.125520°N, 125.646004°E, this large airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the Mindanao region. The airport's elevation of 96 feet above mean sea level positions it in a relatively low-lying coastal area.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect tropical maritime weather conditions typical of the southern Philippines, with potential for significant convective activity and periodic precipitation. The airport's coastal location may introduce variable wind conditions, particularly during seasonal transition periods. Wind patterns can be expected to interact with the runway's 05/23 orientation, which spans 9,842 feet of asphalt pavement.
Notable Features
The airport's substantial runway length of 9,842 feet accommodates a wide range of aircraft types, from regional turboprops to larger international aircraft. Its geographic position near the Davao Gulf suggests potential for maritime-influenced meteorological conditions and localized wind shear. The surrounding terrain likely includes a mix of urban and coastal landscapes that could impact local atmospheric dynamics.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations should account for the airport's single runway configuration and coastal environment. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components given the runway's 05/23 orientation. Standard instrument approach procedures will be influenced by the airport's relatively low elevation and proximity to maritime terrain features.
