Weather Briefing
VFRInuvik Mike Zubko Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 24,000 feet and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 8 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 24000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 2°C (36°F) with a dewpoint of -1°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 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: Light SNRA, Mist, Light Snow, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 07:00Z and 13:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light SNRA, Mist between 13:00Z and 19:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Light Snow, FCST between 13:00Z and 19:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Inuvik Mike Zubko Airport
Overview
Inuvik Mike Zubko Airport serves the northern Canadian community of Inuvik, located in the Northwest Territories at 68.3° North latitude. As a medium-sized airport situated in the Arctic region, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for a remote area with limited ground access, supporting regional and resource exploration operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences significant weather variability, with flight rules predominantly in VFR (47.3%) and MVFR (27.3%) conditions. Winter temperatures can plummet to -45°C, while summer highs reach 16°C, creating challenging and dynamic aviation environments. Visibility averages 11.3 statute miles, with fog present 11.7% of the time and reduced visibility below 3SM in 7.6% of observations.
Notable Features
Located at 224 feet mean sea level, Inuvik Mike Zubko Airport features a single 6000-foot asphalt runway (06/24) oriented to accommodate the prevailing westerly winds. The airport's high-latitude position means extended periods of darkness in winter and extended daylight in summer, which can significantly impact flight planning and operations.
Approach Considerations
Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 5.7 knots make runway 06/24 highly favorable, with winds aligned 100% of the time and an average crosswind of just 3.7 knots. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility and be prepared for rapid weather changes characteristic of Arctic environments, particularly during shoulder seasons.
