Weather Briefing
MVFRSwidwin Military Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,400 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 16 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 16-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,700 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 21:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 15:00Z and 20:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 08:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Swidwin Military Air Base
Swidwin Military Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the PL AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Swidwin Military Air Base (EPSN) is a medium-sized military airport located in northwestern Poland. Situated at an elevation of 394 feet above mean sea level, the base serves military aviation operations in the region. Its strategic location provides important infrastructure for Polish military aerial activities.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 394 feet suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potentially moderate terrain interactions. Being in northern Poland, the location experiences variable weather conditions typical of maritime and continental climate influences. Pilots should anticipate seasonal variations that could impact flight operations, particularly during winter and transitional seasons.
Notable Features
The primary runway 11/29 is a substantial concrete surface measuring 8,200 feet in length, capable of supporting medium to heavy military aircraft. Its orientation allows for flexible approaches depending on prevailing wind conditions. The expansive runway length provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types and mission profiles.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29's significant length of 8,200 feet offers pilots considerable landing and takeoff margins. The concrete surface provides consistent braking characteristics across different weather conditions. Pilots should plan approaches considering the runway's east-west orientation and potential wind variations at the 394-foot elevation.
