VFR — ceiling 5,000 ft. Light winds at variable/3 kt, visibility better than 10 statute miles, scattered at 3,500 ft, broken at 5,000 ft, and overcast at 8,500 ft. Would shift to MVFR if the ceiling drops to 3,000 ft or visibility below 5 SM.

KALN · day 27 at 11:50 UTC · wind variable at 3 kt · visibility 10+ SM · scattered layer at 3,500 ft · broken layer at 5,000 ft · overcast at 8,500 ft · temp 21°C / dewpoint 19°C · altimeter 29.98" Hg
// Runway analysis · computed from current METAR wind
// Density altitude · ISA +7°C
Approximate using ~10% perf loss / 1,000 ft DA for normally aspirated, scaled by powerplant type. Verify with your aircraft's POH for accurate numbers — especially above 5,000 ft DA where these rules of thumb diverge.
