⚠ HARD STALEVIKG hasn't reported a new METAR in 14h 7m.
This airport may not be actively reporting — the values below could be unreliable. Consider checking the nearest reporting alternate.
MVFR — visibility 3.1 SM. Light winds at 280°/6 kt, visibility 3.1 SM, a few at 3,500 ft. Reported weather: haze (HZ). Haze is fine dust, salt, or pollution particles suspended in dry air — it reduces visibility and washes out contrast, a dry particulate obscuration rather than a moisture one. Would drop to IFR below 1,000 ft ceiling or 3 SM visibility, or rise back to VFR above 3,000 ft and 5 SM.

Pattern altitude: 1,000 ft AGL.
Verify pattern direction and altitude with the chart supplement before flying.
// On calm winds (<3 kt), all runways are usable — favor the longest or whatever the pattern calls for.
// Density altitude
Density altitude needs current temperature + altimeter + field elevation — one or more is unavailable for VIKG.
