Clouds - Visual Profile
Weather Briefing
VFRAviano Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 8 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft (CB), scattered at 4,000 ft. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 15:00Z.
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. 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 Aviano Air Base
Aviano Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the IT AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Aviano Air Base (LIPA) is a medium-sized military airport located in northeastern Italy near the town of Aviano in Pordenone province. Positioned at 410 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 46.031898, 12.596503, the base serves as a strategic United States Air Force installation in the European theater.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Aviano are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 89% of observations supporting VFR operations. Temperature ranges from -7°C to 28°C, averaging 10.3°C, which provides relatively stable flying conditions. Wind patterns are consistent, predominantly from the northeast at 45 degrees, with an average speed of 3.9 knots and maximum gusts reaching 15 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (05/23) measuring 8,551 feet with an asphalt surface. Its geographical location in northern Italy suggests proximity to Alpine terrain, which could introduce complex local wind and visibility conditions. The prevailing wind direction provides consistent runway alignment advantages, with the runway experiencing favorable wind conditions 100% of the time.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal occurrences of reduced visibility. September, January, and October represent the most consistently favorable VFR months. The runway experiences a minimal average crosswind of 1.8 knots, facilitating straightforward approach and landing procedures.
