Weather Briefing
MVFRPitalito Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. 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. 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 Pitalito Airport
Overview
Pitalito Airport serves the southern Colombian region of Huila, located at coordinates 1.857770, -76.085700. As a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 4212 feet mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Pitalito area and surrounding municipalities.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 4212 ft MSL means pilots should anticipate performance considerations related to density altitude, particularly during warmer periods. Being situated in the Andean region, the airport may experience variable weather conditions typical of Colombian mountain terrain, with potential rapid changes in visibility and wind patterns.
Notable Features
The single runway 06/24 is 4912 feet long with an asphalt (ASP) surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, with the runway aligned approximately 60 degrees from magnetic north, which may require careful wind assessment during approach and landing.
Approach Considerations
Runway 06/24's length of 4912 feet provides adequate runway distance for most medium aircraft, but pilots should carefully calculate landing and takeoff performance given the significant elevation. The airport's mountain region location suggests a requirement for heightened terrain awareness and precise navigation techniques during approach and departure procedures.
