Weather Briefing

VFR

Dipolog Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 6 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,500 ft (TCU). Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Dipolog Airport

Overview

Dipolog Airport serves the city of Dipolog in the Philippines, located in the Zamboanga del Norte province. As a medium-sized airport situated at a low elevation of 12 feet mean sea level, it provides essential regional connectivity for commercial and general aviation operations in northwestern Mindanao.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable maritime weather conditions throughout the year. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and visibility variations typical of tropical maritime environments, with the single runway (02/20) oriented to accommodate prevailing wind patterns.

Notable Features

Positioned at coordinates 8.601983, 123.341875, Dipolog Airport is surrounded by relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Mindanao coastal region. The concrete runway measuring 6,273 feet in length provides sufficient length for medium-sized aircraft operations, supporting regional transportation needs.

Approach Considerations

Runway 02/20 offers a substantial landing surface for approaching aircraft, with its concrete construction supporting consistent operational reliability. Given the airport's low elevation and coastal positioning, pilots should prepare for potential crosswind conditions and maintain heightened awareness of local meteorological variations during approach and landing phases.
