Weather Briefing
IFRDinard Pleurtuit Saint-Malo airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 500 feet and 2.7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 2.7 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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: Mist, Fog. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 06:00Z and 07:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Dinard Pleurtuit Saint-Malo airport
Overview
Dinard Pleurtuit Saint-Malo airport serves the Brittany region of northwestern France, located near the historic coastal cities of Dinard, Saint-Malo, and Pleurtuit. As a medium-sized airport situated at 219 feet mean sea level, it provides general aviation and regional connectivity for this maritime area.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate highly variable conditions, with visual flight rules (VFR) occurring 36% of the time and marginal VFR another 30.6%. Pilots should anticipate significant weather variability, with temperatures ranging from -2°C to 27°C and a prevailing southerly wind at an average of 9.5 knots. Fog occurs in 6.6% of observations, with September, December, and October presenting the most favorable VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalted runways: 12/30 at 4,708 feet and 17/35 at 7,218 feet, providing flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. Its coastal location near the English Channel suggests potential for rapid weather changes and wind shear, particularly during seasonal transitions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 7.4 and 5 knots respectively.
Approach Considerations
With consistent southerly winds averaging 9.5 knots, pilots should be prepared for predictable wind patterns during approach and departure. The longer runway 17/35 offers more landing flexibility, while the comprehensive wind data suggests minimal wind-related operational restrictions. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, providing generally good visual conditions for navigation.
