Weather Briefing
MVFRLoikaw Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,500 feet and 7 km visibility. Note: This observation is 2 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 38°C (100°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Haze. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 16:00Z.
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 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 Loikaw Airport
Overview
Loikaw Airport serves the capital of Kayah State in eastern Myanmar, situated at an elevation of 2,940 feet above mean sea level. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this mountainous region, supporting regional connectivity and essential travel needs for the local population.
Flying Conditions
Located in a highland area, Loikaw Airport experiences varied atmospheric conditions typical of Myanmar's subtropical highland climate. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations due to the significant elevation of 2,940 feet MSL, which can impact aircraft performance.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (01/19) constructed with bituminous surface, measuring 5,200 feet in length. Its geographical position at coordinates 19.691500, 97.214798 places it within a mountainous terrain context, which may require heightened terrain awareness during approach and departure phases.
Approach Considerations
Given the runway's 01/19 orientation, pilots should consider wind direction and potential terrain interactions when planning approaches. The bituminous runway surface provides standard friction characteristics, but operators should conduct standard terrain and obstacle assessments specific to this highland airport environment.
