Flight planning field conditions, warnings, pilot reports, winds aloft, restrictions · for planning, not a briefing
Field conditions now: elevation 180 ft, altimeter 30.25, 66°F (19°C; standard would be 15°C). Pressure altitude -150 ft. Density altitude 250 ft. The aircraft performs as if the field were at 250 feet: close to the field elevation. The air is 4 °C warmer than standard, so expect a somewhat longer takeoff run and a slower climb than at standard temperature.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Use end | Wind on it | Room for your book distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14/32 | 5,017 ft | asphalt | either | calm | |
| 05/23 | 4,198 ft | asphalt | either | calm |
Wind calm.
Pressure altitude is the field elevation corrected for today's altimeter setting; density altitude adds the effect of temperature. The aircraft's manual turns these into takeoff and landing distances, climb and fuel burn. Observation KDTN, 9:53 am CDT (14:53 UTC).
No SIGMET or AIRMET covers this field right now.
Turbulence No turbulence warning in force over this field. 4 pilot reports of turbulence within 100 nautical miles in the last three hours: light chop turbulence, at 36,000 ft, 86 nm east, 7:20 am CDT (12:20 UTC); light chop turbulence, at 36,000 ft, 95 nm southeast, 9:05 am CDT (14:05 UTC).

Icing No icing warning in force over this field. No pilot has reported icing within 100 nautical miles in the last three hours. The freezing level is about 14,000 ft (from the winds-aloft temperatures), so icing is possible in cloud above that. The government's icing forecast map ↗
