Weather Briefing
VFRTaitung Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 5,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 5 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft, scattered at 5,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 29°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. 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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 10:00Z.
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. 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 Taitung Airport
Overview
Taitung Airport serves the southeastern coastal region of Taiwan, located in Taitung City. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation and emergency services. The airport sits at a modest elevation of 143 feet above mean sea level, facilitating access to this geographically distinct part of the island.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Taitung Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with VFR conditions present 88.2% of the time. The prevailing northerly winds average 7.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 22 knots. Temperature variation is moderate, ranging from 13°C to 34°C, with an average of 23.9°C, which generally supports stable flying conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's 7,999-foot PEM runway (04/22) provides substantial landing space for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographical position on Taiwan's eastern coast suggests potential exposure to maritime weather patterns and potential wind variations. The airport's low elevation and coastal location likely contribute to its consistent visibility, which averages 10 statute miles with rare instances of reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with winds supporting operations 100% of the time. Crosswind components are minimal, averaging only 3.5 knots. Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions, particularly during January, October, and December, which represent the airport's most consistently clear months.
