Weather Briefing

VFR

Iki Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 9 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 5 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 km. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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 Iki Airport

Overview

Iki Airport serves the island of Iki in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, positioned at 33.749001, 129.785004. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 41 feet MSL, it provides essential transportation infrastructure for the local region. The airport features a single asphalt runway (02/20) measuring 4,331 feet in length.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Iki Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 89.3% of observations indicating VFR conditions. The prevailing winds are from the northwest (315°) at an average of 8.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 23 knots. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 32°C, with an average of 15.7°C, suggesting relatively mild operating conditions throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (02/20) demonstrates consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Its island location likely introduces maritime atmospheric influences and potential wind variability. The minimal occurrence of low visibility conditions (LIFR at 0.3%) suggests generally stable visual meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect optimal visual conditions, particularly during November, January, and December. The average crosswind for runway 02/20 is 4.3 knots, which should pose minimal challenge for most aircraft. Consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles provides reliable visual reference during approach and landing operations.
