Weather Briefing
MVFRLandivisiau Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 10 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Landivisiau Air Base
Landivisiau Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the FR AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Landivisiau Air Base (LFRJ) is a medium-sized airport located in Brittany, northwestern France, serving primarily military aviation operations. Situated at an elevation of 348 feet MSL, the base is positioned near the Atlantic coast with coordinates 48.530300, -4.151640. The airport features a single concrete runway (07/25) with a substantial length of 8,858 feet.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Landivisiau demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing in 50.4% of observations. Pilots can expect moderate challenges, with Marginal VFR conditions occurring in 28.8% of cases and Instrument Flight Rules in 14.6% of observations. The prevailing wind is from the south (180°) at an average of 11.1 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 41 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic location in Brittany influences its meteorological characteristics, with temperature ranges from -4°C to 21°C and an average of 10.2°C. Visibility is generally excellent, averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility (fog present in only 2.8% of observations). November, September, and December represent the most favorable months for visual flight operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25 offers consistently favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of 6.6 knots. Pilots should anticipate southern wind patterns and prepare for potential variable conditions, particularly during winter months. The substantial runway length of 8,858 feet provides ample space for most aircraft operations, enhancing approach and landing flexibility.
