FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 50° at 5 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling none. 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 5,319 ft (field elevation 4,685 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
