A suggested risk level for training and situational awareness only, not a go/no-go authority. Verify with official sources and apply your personal minimums.

FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 360° at 7 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; high temperature.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES
High density altitudeMETAR
Density altitude about 5,594 ft (field elevation 2,477 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
High temperatureMETAR
Temperature 36C. Hot conditions degrade engine and climb performance; expect higher density altitude.
