Weather Briefing

MVFR

Dr Juan C Angara Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 10 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating relatively dry 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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Temporary VFR 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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Dr Juan C Angara Airport

Overview

Dr Juan C Angara Airport serves the municipality of Baler in the Aurora province of the Philippines. Located at 15.729309, 121.500034, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northeastern coastal region of Luzon. The airport is situated at an elevation of 108 feet above mean sea level, facilitating regional transportation and local connectivity.

Flying Conditions

Baler's coastal location suggests potential for variable maritime weather conditions that pilots should carefully monitor. The airport's elevation of 108 ft MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for humidity and marine-influenced atmospheric conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and localized weather phenomena typical of coastal Philippine terrain.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (05/23) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,937 feet in length. Its geographical positioning near the Pacific coast suggests potential terrain-induced wind patterns and localized meteorological variations. The runway orientation allows for operations aligned with typical regional wind directions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23 provides a straightforward approach configuration for aircraft compatible with its 3,937-foot asphalt surface. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning considering the runway length and potential coastal wind conditions. Standard approach procedures should account for the airport's low-elevation coastal environment and surrounding terrain characteristics.
