Weather Briefing

VFR

Hasanuddin 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 east (100°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,800 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 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. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 09:00Z.

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 Hasanuddin International Airport

Overview

Hasanuddin International Airport serves Ujung Pandang, a major city on Sulawesi Island in Indonesia. As a large international airport situated at 47 ft mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the eastern Indonesian region. The airport supports significant commercial and potentially military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Located near the equator at coordinates -5.061630, 119.554001, Hasanuddin experiences consistent tropical meteorological conditions with minimal seasonal variation. Pilots should anticipate warm temperatures and potential convective activity typical of equatorial maritime environments. The airport's low elevation of 47 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial asphalt runways: the primary 03/21 runway measuring 10,171 ft and a secondary 13/31 runway measuring 8,202 ft. These extensive runway lengths accommodate wide-body aircraft and provide operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. The airport's geographic position suggests potential terrain considerations typical of coastal Indonesian landscapes.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21, being the longer runway at 10,171 ft, likely represents the primary approach and departure vector. Pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios given the two perpendicular runway orientations. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended, with careful attention to local meteorological and terrain characteristics.
