Weather Briefing

VFR

Antonio Nariño Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 6,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (100°) at 7 knots. Runway 02/20 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 6,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.
