FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category LIFR, wind from 10° at 34 kt, gusting 42 kt, visibility 0.125 SM, ceiling 900 ft. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. No extended National Weather Service forecast is available for this location. Key risks: gusty winds; low visibility; strong winds; crosswind component.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

Gusty windsMETAR

Winds gusting to 42 kt. Plan for the gust factor on approach and landing.

Low visibilityMETAR

Visibility 0.125 SM. Conditions may be unsuitable for VFR; review IFR options and alternates.

Strong windsMETAR

Sustained winds 34 kt. Check your personal crosswind limits and runway suitability.

Crosswind componentMETAR

Best runway 07 still has about 22 kt of crosswind. Confirm it is below your personal minimums.

Icing riskMETAR

Precipitation with freezing or near-freezing temperatures. Structural and induction icing are possible.
