Weather Briefing

VFR

Syamsudin Noor International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

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 Syamsudin Noor International Airport

Overview

Syamsudin Noor International Airport serves the Banjarmasin area in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, functioning as a medium-sized airport with strategic regional significance. Located at coordinates -3.442360, 114.763000 with an elevation of 66 ft MSL, the airport provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the surrounding maritime region.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 71.8% of observations supporting visual flight rules and only 7.7% of time experiencing restrictive IFR or LIFR conditions. Prevailing winds from the northeast (45°) average 4.6 knots, with temperatures consistently ranging between 19°C and 35°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions for flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway 10/28 extends 8,202 feet with an asphalt surface, offering substantial length for most commercial and regional aircraft. The geographical location suggests a tropical maritime environment, which typically implies potential for rapid localized weather development and the importance of pre-flight meteorological briefings.

Approach Considerations

With a 100% favorable wind coverage for runway 10/28 and an average crosswind of only 3.1 knots, pilots can anticipate relatively consistent approach conditions. September, January, and November represent the most stable months for visual meteorological conditions, offering optimal flying windows with high visibility and minimal weather-related constraints.
