Weather Briefing
IFRCañal Bajo Carlos Hott Siebert Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,000 feet and 4.2 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4.2 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 5000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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 12 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist, Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Cañal Bajo Carlos Hott Siebert Airport
Overview
Cañal Bajo Carlos Hott Siebert Airport serves Osorno, Chile, as a medium-sized regional airport located at 40.6°S latitude. Situated at 187 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for southern Chile's Los Lagos Region, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 79.4% of observations showing clear flying weather. Seasonal variations show optimal VFR conditions in November, December, and January, with temperatures ranging from 0°C to 37°C and an average of 12.8°C. Wind patterns are consistently from the south at an average of 5.8 knots, with calm conditions occurring 17.7% of the time.
Notable Features
The single runway 15/33 is 6,398 feet long with an asphalted surface, oriented to take advantage of the prevailing southern wind patterns. Visibility is consistently good, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility, and fog occurs in only 3.6% of observations. The airport's geographic location suggests terrain considerations typical of southern Chilean coastal and volcanic regions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15/33 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with wind conditions supporting operations 100% of the time and an average crosswind of just 3.1 knots. Pilots can expect predictable approach conditions, particularly during the summer months when VFR conditions are most stable. The low frequency of IFR (4.7%) and LIFR (4.3%) conditions suggests generally reliable visual approaches.
