FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 140° at 2 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling CAVOK. No extended National Weather Service forecast is available for this location. Key risks: high temperature.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES
High temperatureMETAR
Temperature 36C. Hot conditions degrade engine and climb performance; expect higher density altitude.

OUR HEADSET PICK · NOT SPONSORED

DC

David Clark DC ONE-X

Not sponsored, just the headset we'd buy ourselves: the DC ONE-X, with hybrid noise canceling, Bluetooth, and 30+ hour battery. And David Clark's A+ customer service is the real reason we recommend them.
