Weather Briefing
VFRMatsu Beigan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,700 feet and 9 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 10 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 km. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,700 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 24 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 Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 13:00Z.
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 Matsu Beigan Airport
Overview
Matsu Beigan Airport serves the Beigan island region of Taiwan, located in the strategic Matsu archipelago. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 41 feet mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this offshore island community. The airport supports regional connectivity and serves as an important transportation node for the Matsu island group.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location at 26.224199, 120.002998 suggests potential for variable maritime weather conditions typical of island environments. Given its low elevation of 41 ft MSL, pilots can expect minimal terrain interference but potential wind and visibility challenges. Seasonal wind patterns and maritime atmospheric conditions will significantly influence flight operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single concrete runway (03/21) measuring 3,773 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical position in the Taiwan Strait indicates potential for complex wind interactions and rapid weather shifts. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges during certain wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 provides a standard approach environment with its 3,773-foot concrete surface. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime wind variations and prepare for potential crosswind landing scenarios. The relatively modest runway length requires careful performance planning for aircraft approach and landing operations.
