FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 270° at 7 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 5,808 ft (field elevation 4,360 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
