Weather Briefing
IFRGraciosa Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 9 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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 9 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, Drizzle, Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 09:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Drizzle, Mist between 09:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Graciosa Airport
Overview
Graciosa Airport serves Santa Cruz da Graciosa in the Azores archipelago, located on the island of Graciosa. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 86 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential transportation infrastructure for this remote Portuguese island region. The airport supports regional connectivity and serves as a critical aviation hub for the local community.
Flying Conditions
Being situated in the Azores, Graciosa Airport experiences maritime Atlantic climate conditions characterized by variable winds and potential rapid weather changes. The airport's elevation of 86 feet MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for marine layer formations. Pilots should anticipate dynamic wind conditions, particularly given the airport's island location and oceanic proximity.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (09/27) measuring 4,529 feet in length, constructed with concrete (CON) surface. Its geographic coordinates at 39.092201, -28.029800 place it in a potentially challenging maritime terrain environment typical of the Azorean islands. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing.
Approach Considerations
Runway 09/27's substantial 4,529-foot length provides reasonable operational flexibility for most regional aircraft types. Given the airport's island setting, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear and rapidly changing meteorological conditions. Standard approach procedures should account for the maritime environment and the airport's modest elevation.
