Weather Briefing
MVFRFrancisco De Orellana Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 10,000 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 14.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Wind data is not available.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Francisco De Orellana Airport
Overview
Francisco De Orellana Airport serves Coca, Ecuador, situated at an elevation of 834 feet MSL in the Amazon basin region. As a medium-sized airport with a 6,760-foot asphalted runway (16/34), it supports regional transportation and likely serves local oil industry and tourism operations in the eastern Ecuadorian lowlands.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 83.4% of observations presenting clear flying weather and only 5.6% of time in challenging IFR or LIFR conditions. Temperatures consistently range between 20°C and 36°C with an average of 28.2°C, and wind patterns are stable with prevailing easterly winds averaging 3.6 knots and rarely exceeding 17 knots.
Notable Features
Located at coordinates -0.462886, -76.986801, the airport is positioned in the Amazon rainforest region with potentially complex surrounding terrain. The consistent easterly wind patterns and high visibility (average 10 statute miles) suggest relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of the equatorial climate zone.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2.2 knots. Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions particularly during September, December, and January, with consistently good visibility and minimal fog occurrence (only 2.6% of observations).
