Weather Briefing

VFR

Narrabri Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (170°) at 5 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4200 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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 18 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

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 Narrabri Airport

Overview

Narrabri Airport serves the regional community in northwestern New South Wales, located near the town of Narrabri. Situated at an elevation of 788 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the agricultural and resource-rich New England North West region of Australia.

Flying Conditions

The airport features two runways with different surface compositions: a 3,980-foot grass runway (09/27) and a 5,000-foot asphalt runway (18/36). Given its inland location, pilots should anticipate variable wind conditions typical of the New England region, with potential for significant temperature fluctuations between day and night.

Notable Features

Narrabri Airport's geographical coordinates at -30.319201, 149.826996 place it in a rural landscape characterized by relatively flat terrain. The dual runway configuration allows operational flexibility, with the longer asphalt runway (18/36) providing enhanced capabilities for larger aircraft and more consistent surface conditions.

Approach Considerations

Approach considerations should factor in the airport's medium-sized classification and the varying runway surfaces. Pilots should be prepared to assess wind direction when selecting runway 09/27 or 18/36, with the longer asphalt runway offering more favorable landing characteristics in most conditions.
