Weather Briefing

VFR

Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies. Note: This observation is 1 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (360°) at 5 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 24 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: Mist, Fog. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 10:00Z and 12:00Z.

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 Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella Airport

Overview

Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella Airport serves Cordoba, Argentina as a medium-sized airport with significant regional importance. Located at coordinates -31.323601, -64.208000 and elevated at 1604 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Cordoba metropolitan area.

Flying Conditions

Situated at moderate elevation, the airport experiences typical inland Argentine climate conditions with potential for variable wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and temperature-related performance considerations given the 1604 ft MSL elevation.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial runways: a longer 10,499 ft concrete runway (01/19) and a secondary 7,218 ft asphalt runway (05/23). These runway configurations provide operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions, allowing multiple approach and departure options.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19's significant length of 10,499 ft provides ample landing and takeoff space for most commercial and regional aircraft. The crosswind runway 05/23 offers additional operational flexibility, particularly during wind shifts or when primary runway conditions are compromised.
