Weather Briefing

LIFR

Tutuka Power Station Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 400 feet and 1.5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 1.5 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 400 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Pilot Recommendations

Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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 Tutuka Power Station Airport

Tutuka Power Station Airport (FATT) is located in Standerton, ZA at an elevation of 5,313 feet MSL, making density altitude a consideration for performance planning. The airport has 1 runway (04/22), with the longest at 4,941 feet.

Airport Overview

Tutuka Power Station Airport serves Standerton in ZA. As a smaller airfield, services may be limited. Pilots should verify fuel availability and operating hours before arrival. The airport features 1 runway (04/22) with asp surface. The longest runway measures 4,941 feet, adequate for light general aviation aircraft.

Elevation Considerations

At 5313 feet MSL, density altitude is an important consideration for flight planning, particularly during summer months. Performance calculations should account for the reduced air density at this elevation.

Flight Planning

For current NOTAMs and operational information, consult the local aviation authority publications. Weather data including METAR and TAF reports are typically available from nearby reporting stations if not directly from this airport. Before flight, verify current conditions through official channels and check Jeppesen or national AIP for the latest aeronautical information.
