Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 190° at 6 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.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES

High density altitudeMETAR

Density altitude about 9,341 ft (field elevation 7,364 ft). Expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll.
