Weather Briefing

VFR

Cagayan North International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 10 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,800 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 27°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. 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. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Light Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 02:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Cagayan North International Airport

Overview

Cagayan North International Airport serves the Lal-lo region in the northern Philippines, positioned at 18.182388, 121.745853. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 148 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Cagayan province. The airport's single concrete runway (04/22) extends 6,900 feet, supporting various aircraft operations in the region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's relatively low elevation at 148 feet suggests a generally stable atmospheric environment with minimal terrain-induced turbulence. Coastal proximity and northern Philippine geographic characteristics likely contribute to variable wind conditions that pilots should anticipate during approach and departure. Seasonal meteorological patterns in this region can produce significant wind shifts that may affect runway 04/22 operations.

Notable Features

Positioned in northern Luzon, Cagayan North International Airport is situated in a transitional geographic zone between coastal and inland terrain. The 6,900-foot concrete runway accommodates medium-sized aircraft and provides substantial operational flexibility. Its geographic location suggests potential for complex local wind patterns influenced by surrounding topographical features.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22's substantial 6,900-foot length provides significant margin for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning to assess current wind conditions, as the runway's orientation may require careful wind vector calculations during approach. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical given the airport's geographic location and potential regional meteorological variations.
