Weather Briefing
VFRČáslav Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 452.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 7 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4300 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 5°C (41°F) with a dewpoint of 2°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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 Čáslav Air Base
Čáslav Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the CZ AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Čáslav Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, near the town of Chotusice. The base sits at an elevation of 794 feet mean sea level and serves both military and potentially civilian aviation operations. Its strategic location and dual-runway configuration make it a significant aviation facility in the region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Čáslav are predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR), with 66.3% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Seasonal variations show significant temperature ranges from -16°C to 28°C, with an average temperature of 6.5°C. Wind patterns are predominantly from the southeast at an average of 7.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots, and calm conditions occurring 2.1% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a grass runway 12/30 measuring 4,295 feet, and a concrete runway 13/31 extending 7,875 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind conditions with an average crosswind of just 3.6 knots. Visibility is consistently good, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and November represent the best months for VFR flying at Čáslav Air Base. Pilots can expect excellent approach conditions with typically stable winds and high visibility. The concrete runway 13/31 offers the longer landing surface and might be preferred for larger aircraft or during more challenging weather conditions.
