Weather Briefing
VFRQuatro de Fevereiro International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 7,000 feet and 9 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 8 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 km. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,400 ft, scattered at 7,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport
Overview
Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport serves as the primary international airport for Luanda, Angola's capital city. Located at coordinates -8.858370, 13.231200, the airport is an essential transportation hub for commercial and cargo operations in West-Central Africa, situated at an elevation of 243 feet mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
Luanda's airport experiences tropical maritime climate conditions with significant humidity and potential thunderstorm activity. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and occasional convective weather patterns typical of coastal equatorial regions, which can impact visibility and wind conditions around the airport.
Notable Features
The airport features two substantial asphalt runways: Runway 05/23 measuring 12,190 feet and Runway 07/25 measuring 8,530 feet. Its relatively low elevation and coastal positioning create unique aerodynamic considerations, with potential maritime wind influences that pilots must carefully assess during approach and departure phases.
Approach Considerations
Given the length and orientation of the two runways, pilots have flexible approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths provide significant operational margins for various aircraft types, with Runway 05/23 offering particularly extended landing and takeoff capabilities for larger commercial and cargo aircraft.
