FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 110° at 5 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling CAVOK. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. No extended National Weather Service forecast is available for this location. Key risks: high density altitude.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 5,596 ft (field elevation 3,779 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
