Departure / Arrival Briefing
Departure on runway 02 needs careful planning — limiting conditions reported.
- Crosswind — Wind reported variable — treat the full speed as possible crosswind.
- Headwind — 1 kt headwind component on 02
- Runway — 6,191 ft available × 119 ft · lighted
- Density altitude — -665 ft — near standard performance
- Low visibility ops — 0.56 sm — LVP likely in force; expect taxi delays and departure minima checks.
- Forecast change — TEMPO 0103/0107 7000 RA SHRA · PROB40 0103/0108 0300 FG
Selecting a runway instantly re-runs the METAR/TAF summary, wind components and approach minima for that configuration.
no reported ceiling and 0.56 sm visibility support a ILS / precision CAT I to RWY 02 — minima are marginal, plan an alternate.
