Weather Briefing
MVFRQuiché Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 9,000 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (270°) at 8 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
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 9,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Quiché Airport
Quiché Airport (MGQC/AQB) is located in Santa Cruz del Quiché, GT at an elevation of 6,631 feet MSL, making density altitude a consideration for performance planning. The airport has 1 runway (17/35), with the longest at 4,090 feet.
Airport Overview
Quiché Airport serves Santa Cruz del Quiché in GT. As a smaller airfield, services may be limited. Pilots should verify fuel availability and operating hours before arrival. The airport features 1 runway (17/35) with asp surface. The longest runway measures 4,090 feet, adequate for light general aviation aircraft.
Elevation Considerations
At 6631 feet MSL, density altitude is an important consideration for flight planning, particularly during summer months. Performance calculations should account for the reduced air density at this elevation.
Flight Planning
For current NOTAMs and operational information, consult the local aviation authority publications. Weather data including METAR and TAF reports are typically available from nearby reporting stations if not directly from this airport. Before flight, verify current conditions through official channels and check Jeppesen or national AIP for the latest aeronautical information.
Weather Information
When METAR observations are not available directly from MGQC, pilots can reference weather from nearby airports shown above. Consider distance and terrain differences when using alternate weather sources. For official flight planning, always use approved weather briefing services.
