FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 10° at 17 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 8,000 ft. 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 11,897 ft (field elevation 9,097 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
