Weather Briefing
MVFREl Trompillo Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1200 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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: RADZ. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with RADZ between 06:00Z and 10:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 El Trompillo Airport
Overview
El Trompillo Airport serves Santa Cruz, Bolivia as a medium-sized airport located at 1371 ft MSL. Situated at coordinates -17.811600, -63.171501, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Its single runway 16/34 spans 9,098 feet and is constructed with asphalt (ASP) surface.
Flying Conditions
Statistical data indicates predominantly VFR conditions at 73% of observed periods, with MVFR conditions occurring 17.3% of the time. Winds predominantly blow from the north (0°) with an average speed of 11.7 knots and occasional gusts up to 30 knots. Temperature ranges from 14°C to 37°C, with an average of 27°C, suggesting potential thermal variations during operations.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 16/34 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. Crosswind conditions are minimal, averaging only 2.5 knots. January, September, and November represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions for pilots.
Approach Considerations
With runway 16/34 oriented north-south and demonstrating excellent wind characteristics, pilots can expect predictable approach conditions. The long 9,098 ft runway provides substantial landing and takeoff margins. Low occurrence of adverse weather (IFR conditions at only 8.9%, LIFR at 0.8%) suggests generally stable approach environments.
