Flight planning: Venango Regional FKL / KFKL

What a pilot looks at before a flight from or to Venango Regional in Franklin, Pennsylvania, in plain English: right now marginal VFR: flyable but watch the ceiling and visibility, Wind from the west (260°) at 7 knots. The warnings, reports and winds below come from the government's aviation weather service and the restrictions from the FAA, refreshed every few minutes. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools.

Warnings in force SIGMETs and AIRMETs whose area covers this field

AIRMET SIERRA 1E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, mist).

A SIGMET warns of weather hazardous to all aircraft (thunderstorms, severe turbulence or icing, volcanic ash); an AIRMET of weather that matters to small aircraft and to flying without instruments (moderate turbulence or icing, low cloud, strong surface wind, mountains hidden in cloud). An area is counted when it covers this field's position.

What pilots in the air told air traffic control or Flight Service: turbulence, icing, cloud tops and bases, temperature, wind, and whatever they remarked on (wind shear on final, a smooth ride). An urgent report is one of severe turbulence or icing, wind shear, or similar. Open "as filed, and in English" for the coded report and its translation line by line.

Winds and temperatures aloft forecast point AGC, 61 nm south of the field · for use 14:00–21:00 UTC

Height	Wind from	Speed	Temperature
3,000 ft	270° (west)	15 knots
6,000 ft	320° (northwest)	17 knots	14 °C
9,000 ft	320° (northwest)	22 knots	9 °C
12,000 ft	340° (north)	23 knots	4 °C
18,000 ft	310° (northwest)	25 knots	-8 °C
24,000 ft	290° (west)	30 knots	-19 °C
30,000 ft	280° (west)	40 knots	-36 °C
34,000 ft	290° (west)	49 knots	-45 °C
39,000 ft	300° (northwest)	53 knots	-49 °C

Based on data from the 12th at 12:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 18:00 UTC for use 14:00 to 21:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; the lowest rows are left out where the ground is already that high.

Temporary flight restrictions within 50 nautical miles, from the FAA's list

6/8587 Youngstown, OH, Monday, October 12, 2026 through Monday, October 12, 2026 Local 7 nm west · a VIP movement · today · ZOB
6/8829 Youngstown, OH, Monday, October 12, 2026 through Monday, October 12, 2026 Local 27 nm west · a VIP movement · today · ZOB
6/8888 Youngstown, OH, Monday, October 12, 2026 through Monday, October 12, 2026 Local 36 nm west · security · today · ZOB

Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times. Ordinary notices to air missions (a closed runway, lights out, a crane) are not shown here: the FAA's notice search is not open to sites like this one at this time, and the application for the FAA's data feed is in hand.
