Weather Briefing
VFRDeelen Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 3°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Deelen Air Base
Deelen Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the NL AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Deelen Air Base (EHDL) is a medium-sized airport located near Arnhem, Netherlands, serving military and potentially civilian aviation operations. Situated at 158 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides strategic aviation infrastructure in the central Netherlands region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Deelen demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 51% of observations. Pilots can expect moderate wind conditions, with a prevailing southerly wind at an average of 8 knots and occasional gusts up to 26 knots. Temperature ranges from -10°C to 25°C, with an average of 7.8°C.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (02/20) measuring 9,678 feet in length, constructed with a Pavement Evaluation Number (PEM) surface. The runway alignment demonstrates excellent wind compatibility, with favorable wind conditions present 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 4.1 knots.
Approach Considerations
Seasonal flying is most predictable during September, October, and November, which present the best Visual Flight Rules conditions. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog occurs in only 2.5% of observations). Pilots should anticipate predominantly stable approach conditions with low probability of significant weather disruptions.
