Weather Briefing

MVFR

Mong Hsat Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 5 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Smoke.

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 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 Mong Hsat Airport

Overview

Mong Hsat Airport serves the eastern region of Myanmar, located in Shan State at an elevation of 1,875 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports medium-level aviation operations in a mountainous area of southeastern Myanmar, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the local region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1,875 ft MSL indicates a higher terrain environment that can create unique atmospheric conditions for pilots. Situated at coordinates 20.516800, 99.256798, the airport experiences potential terrain-influenced wind patterns and potential visibility challenges typical of mountainous southeastern Myanmar.

Notable Features

Mong Hsat Airport features a single runway (12/30) constructed of bituminous surface, measuring 5,000 feet in length. The runway orientation and substantial length suggest the airport is designed to accommodate medium-sized aircraft operations in a challenging terrain environment.

Approach Considerations

Pilots approaching Mong Hsat Airport should be prepared for potential terrain-related wind variations given the airport's mountain region location. The runway's 12/30 orientation provides flexibility for landings based on prevailing wind conditions, with careful attention required to terrain and elevation considerations during approach and departure phases.
