Weather Briefing
VFRRobertson Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 9 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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 30 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. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 03:00Z and 06:00Z.
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 Robertson Airport
Overview
Robertson Airport serves the agricultural region of the Western Cape, situated at an elevation of 640 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates -33.812199, 19.902800, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Robertson area, supporting regional transportation and local agricultural operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences typical Western Cape climate conditions, with potential variability affecting runway conditions. Pilots should pay special attention to the grass runway 14/32, which requires caution due to reported mole activity that could impact surface consistency and aircraft handling.
Notable Features
Robertson Airport features two runways: the primary 10/28 runway is 4,921 feet long with an asphalt surface and offers Avgas refueling capabilities. The secondary runway 14/32 is a 2,395-foot grass surface, presenting different operational considerations for pilots depending on aircraft type and current ground conditions.
Approach Considerations
Approach strategies should consider the airport's dual runway configuration and local terrain characteristics. Pilots should be prepared to select between the asphalt and grass runways based on aircraft specifications, current weather conditions, and potential surface irregularities, particularly on the grass runway where mole activity may create uneven terrain.
