FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category IFR, wind variable at 2 kt, visibility 2.24 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; low visibility.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 8,166 ft (field elevation 6,871 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.

Low visibilityMETAR

Visibility 2.24 SM. Conditions may be unsuitable for VFR; review IFR options and alternates.
