Weather Briefing

VFR

Las Flores Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 7 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,600 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.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Las Flores Airport

Overview

Las Flores Airport serves the El Banco region in Colombia, functioning as a medium-sized airport situated at 111 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 9.045540, -73.974900, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Being positioned at a relatively low elevation of 111 ft MSL, Las Flores Airport experiences typical tropical Colombian weather patterns with potential humidity and thermal variations. Pilots should anticipate standard atmospheric conditions consistent with the coastal/lowland geographic region, which can include afternoon convective activity.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) measuring 3,985 feet in length, constructed with an asphalt surface suitable for medium aircraft operations. Its geographic positioning suggests a terrain that is likely relatively flat, consistent with the characteristics of the El Banco municipal area.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's orientation indicates potential wind influence from east-west directions, which pilots should consider during approach and landing planning. The 3,985-foot runway length requires careful performance calculations, particularly for larger aircraft or during challenging meteorological conditions.
