Weather Briefing
VFRViru Viru International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 6 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Viru Viru International Airport
Overview
Viru Viru International Airport serves Santa Cruz, Bolivia, as a key international aviation hub. Located at 1224 ft mean sea level, the airport supports large aircraft operations with its substantial 11,483 ft runway capable of accommodating wide-body and long-haul aircraft.
Flying Conditions
As an airport situated in central Bolivia at 17.6 degrees south latitude, Viru Viru experiences significant seasonal weather variations typical of tropical highland regions. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and variable wind conditions, particularly during transition seasons.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (16/34) is constructed of concrete and positioned to provide maximum operational flexibility. Its significant length of 11,483 ft allows for substantial performance margins for most commercial and cargo aircraft operating at this elevation.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34's extended length provides pilots considerable landing and takeoff options based on current wind conditions. The airport's elevation at 1224 ft MSL requires standard high-altitude performance calculations and considerations for aircraft operating in this environment.
