FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category MVFR, wind calm, visibility 3.73 SM, ceiling none. 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 5,945 ft (field elevation 5,072 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
