Weather Briefing

MVFR

La Fria Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 7 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 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 23°C (73°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.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Mist, Drizzle, Showers Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 15 knots. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Mist, Drizzle between 10:00Z and 13:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 20:00Z and 23:00Z.

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.

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

About La Fria Airport

Overview

La Fria Airport (SVLF) is a medium-sized airport located in Venezuela at coordinates 8.239167, -72.271027. Situated at an elevation of 305 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves regional transportation needs in its geographical area. The primary runway 01/19 is a 6,643-foot asphalt surface capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Pilots should anticipate typical tropical highland weather conditions given the airport's Venezuelan location and moderate elevation. The 305-foot MSL elevation suggests a relatively stable atmospheric environment, though regional meteorological variations can impact flight operations. Seasonal wind patterns may influence runway selection and approach strategies.

Notable Features

The airport features one primary runway (01/19) with an asphalt surface stretching 6,643 feet in length. A secondary runway designated 18/36 is listed with unknown characteristics, which suggests potential limitations or incomplete infrastructure documentation. The geographic coordinates indicate the airport is situated in a potentially mountainous or hilly terrain region.

Approach Considerations

Approach considerations should focus on the primary runway 01/19, which offers substantial length for most medium-sized aircraft. Pilots must conduct thorough terrain and obstacle assessments given the airport's location in a potentially complex geographical environment. Standard instrument approach procedures should be carefully reviewed and verified through current aeronautical charts and local aviation authorities.
