Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 30° at 6 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. 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 5,101 ft (field elevation 3,232 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
