FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 10° at 8 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 5,000 ft. 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 13,407 ft (field elevation 11,300 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
