Weather Briefing

MVFR

Pendopo Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,400 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 2 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,400 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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: Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 20:00Z and 00:00Z.

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 Pendopo Airport

Overview

Pendopo Airport serves the Talang Gudang region on Sumatra Island, Indonesia. Located at coordinates -3.286070, 103.879997, this medium-sized airport operates at an elevation of 184 feet above mean sea level. The airport provides essential regional transportation infrastructure for the surrounding area.

Flying Conditions

Situated in a tropical climate zone, Pendopo Airport experiences consistent humidity and potential convective weather typical of Sumatra's inland regions. Pilots should anticipate potential afternoon thunderstorm development and localized thermal activity due to the airport's moderate elevation and geographic location. Temperature and wind variations can be significant during seasonal transition periods.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (03/21) with a length of 4,265 feet, constructed with a PEM (presumed asphalt or packed earth material) surface. Its moderate elevation and relatively long runway provide operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft. The surrounding terrain is likely characterized by the typical flat to gently rolling landscape of Sumatra's interior regions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 suggests the primary approach axis runs approximately northeast/southwest. Pilots should review current wind conditions to determine the most appropriate runway direction, considering crosswind components. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended given the airport's location and elevation.
