About Instrument Approaches

Instrument approaches are precision-guided procedures that allow aircraft to land safely at airports when visibility is reduced or weather conditions require instrument flight rules (IFR). At St. George Airport (PAPB), we monitor real-time conditions for all published approaches.

Real-Time Monitoring

Each approach is monitored 24/7 with live weather data, showing current conditions against required minimums.

Wind Analysis

Live wind data shows headwind and crosswind components for each runway, helping pilots plan their approach.

Flight Categories

VFR, MVFR, IFR, and LIFR conditions are displayed with color-coded badges for quick status assessment.

Important: The information provided is for informational purposes only. Always verify current conditions through official sources and follow your operator's specific minimums and procedures.

How Our Approach Monitoring Works

Our system continuously monitors weather conditions at PAPB and compares them against the published minimums for each approach. Here's what you'll see on each approach page:

Approach Status

Shows whether current conditions are above or below minimums for that specific approach.

Current Weather

Live METAR data including visibility, ceiling, wind speed, direction, and gusts.

Wind Compass

Visual representation of wind direction relative to the runway orientation.

Runway Favorability

Indicates if winds favor the runway, with headwind and crosswind components.

Flight Category

VFR, MVFR, IFR, or LIFR classification with color-coded badges.

Updates: All approach conditions are updated automatically every 30 seconds with the latest METAR and sensor data from St. George Airport.

Important Disclaimer

This page is for reference and informational purposes ONLY.

  • Weather conditions shown do NOT guarantee a plane can land. An approach being "above minimums" does not mean landing is possible or authorized.
  • Weather data is from NOAA weather stations and updates at irregular intervals - it is NOT live data and does NOT update every 5 minutes. Conditions may change rapidly between updates.
  • Each airline/operator has their own minimums and safety rules that may be more restrictive than what is shown here.
  • The final decision to conduct an approach always rests with the operator and pilot in command based on current conditions, aircraft performance, crew qualifications, and company procedures.
  • This is not official aviation data. Always check official sources (FAA NOTAMs, official weather briefings, AWOS/ASOS, operator dispatch) before making any operational decisions.
