FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind from 180° at 12 kt, visibility 3.73 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.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 5,491 ft (field elevation 3,573 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
