Weather Briefing
VFRFort Worth Meacham International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,800 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (170°) at 17 knots with gusts to 24 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 17-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 3800 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating moderate moisture 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 20 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Fort Worth Meacham International Airport
Overview
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport serves the metropolitan Fort Worth area as a medium-sized airport located at 32.819801, -97.362396 with an elevation of 710 ft MSL. The airport features three runways accommodating various aircraft operations, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the region.
Flying Conditions
Meacham International demonstrates highly favorable flying conditions, with 84.7% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Winds predominantly originate from the south at 180° with an average speed of 8 knots, and temperatures range from -5°C to 37°C. September, October, and November represent the most consistent VFR months for pilots.
Notable Features
The airport offers three runways with varying surfaces: Runway 09/27 is asphalt at 3,677 ft, Runway 16/34 is concrete and the longest at 7,501 ft, and Runway 17/35 is asphalt at 4,006 ft. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with minimal average crosswind components ranging from 3.3 to 6.5 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent approach conditions with consistent wind patterns and high visibility averaging 9.6 statute miles. Low visibility and instrument conditions are rare, occurring in only 2.8% IFR and 2% LIFR observations. Runway selection can be flexible due to uniform wind characteristics across all runways.
