Weather Briefing
VFRJose Maria Velasco Ibarra Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 9.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 24 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 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 Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra Airport
Overview
Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra Airport serves the Macará region in Ecuador, positioned at coordinates -4.378230, -79.941002. As a medium airport situated at 1508 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area. The airport features a single asphalt runway designated 01/19, with a length of 3532 feet.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 1508 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment that can influence aircraft performance and approach characteristics. Located in southern Ecuador, the airport likely experiences variations in wind patterns and visibility typical of the regional climate. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude effects due to the airport's terrain and elevation.
Notable Features
Macará's geographic positioning suggests a terrain-influenced airport environment, likely surrounded by varying elevation profiles. The single runway configuration (01/19) means pilots must be prepared for potential crosswind conditions during approach and departure. The asphalt (ASP) surface indicates standard runway construction suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's 3532-foot length requires careful performance calculations for aircraft planning to utilize the airport. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning considering the airport's elevation and potential terrain-related wind interactions. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical given the airport's geographical location and moderate elevation.
