Weather Briefing
VFRPratica Di Mare Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 11 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Pratica Di Mare Air Base
Pratica Di Mare 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
Pratica Di Mare Air Base is a military airport located near Pomezia, Italy, situated at 41 ft above mean sea level. The base supports medium-sized aircraft operations with two substantial asphalt runways capable of handling significant aviation traffic. Its strategic location near Rome provides important military and potentially civil aviation infrastructure for the region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Pratica Di Mare are predominantly excellent for flying, with VFR conditions present 94.1% of the time. The prevailing winds are from the north at an average of 7.1 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 25 knots. Temperature ranges from 0°C to 30°C, with an average of 15.4°C, supporting consistent and stable flying conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 13/31 at 8,335 ft and 13R/31L at 8,138 ft, both constructed of asphalt. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind of only 4.7 knots. The low elevation of 41 ft MSL and consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles contribute to predictable approach and landing environments.
Approach Considerations
October, September, and November represent the best VFR months for operations at this airbase. The near-constant wind direction and low crosswind component provide stable approach conditions for both runways. Pilots can expect highly reliable visual meteorological conditions, with statistical data showing minimal instances of restricted visibility or challenging weather patterns.
