Weather Briefing
LIFRGöteborg Landvetter Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 200 feet and 2.2 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 8 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 2.2 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is very low at 200 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 2°C (36°F) with a dewpoint of 2°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 09:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions between 16:00Z and 22:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Göteborg Landvetter Airport
Overview
Göteborg Landvetter Airport serves as the primary international airport for western Sweden's largest metropolitan area. Located near Göteborg, this airport handles significant commercial passenger and cargo traffic, supporting regional and international connections. The airport's elevation of 506 feet above mean sea level provides a moderate terrain profile for aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Sweden's western coastal region experiences variable maritime weather conditions with significant seasonal temperature and wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility and precipitation, particularly during autumn and winter months. The airport's long primary runway (03/21 measuring 10,823 feet) provides substantial operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types and challenging meteorological scenarios.
Notable Features
The airport is situated in a transitional landscape between coastal and inland terrains, which can generate complex local wind patterns and potential turbulence. Its geographic coordinates (57.662800, 12.279800) place it in a region with moderate topographical relief. The asphalt runway surface supports year-round operations with appropriate surface friction characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21's extended length allows for comprehensive approach options across multiple wind conditions. The airport's substantial runway length enables safe operations for wide-body commercial aircraft and provides additional margin during challenging meteorological circumstances. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach briefings, considering the regional atmospheric dynamics and potential wind variability.
