Weather Briefing

VFR

Cagliari Elmas Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (350°) at 6 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

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 Cagliari Elmas Airport

Overview

Cagliari Elmas Airport serves as a primary international airport for Sardinia, Italy, located in the southern region of the island near Cagliari. Positioned at an elevation of 13 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional and international air transportation. Its single runway (14/32) extends 9,196 feet, accommodating a wide range of aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Mediterranean maritime climate influences the airport's weather patterns, characterized by generally mild conditions and moderate seasonal variations. Coastal proximity contributes to potential wind shifts and marine layer developments that pilots should anticipate during approach and departure. The relatively low elevation of 13 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-related atmospheric complexities.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic position on Sardinia's southern coast presents unique navigational considerations for pilots. Its single runway (14/32) aligned at approximately 140/320 degrees offers strategic orientation for prevailing wind conditions. The airport's large classification indicates substantial infrastructure supporting commercial and potentially military aviation operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 14/32's extensive 9,196-foot length provides considerable flexibility for aircraft handling and operational safety. Pilots should prepare for potential maritime wind influences during approach, with runway alignment potentially offering natural wind alignment advantages. Standard instrument approach procedures will be relevant given the airport's international classification and coastal location.
