Weather Briefing

VFR

Wiener Neustadt West Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet. Note: This observation is 794.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 6 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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 between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 13:00Z and 17:00Z.

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 Wiener Neustadt West Airport

Overview

Wiener Neustadt West Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Lower Austria, serving the Wiener Neustadt region. Positioned at 47.836933, 16.221838 and elevated at 935 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical infrastructure for regional aviation operations. Its multiple grass runways make it a significant facility for general aviation and light aircraft activities.

Flying Conditions

The airport features six grass runways ranging from 2,754 to 5,314 feet in length, which implies significant variability in surface conditions across seasons. Pilots should anticipate grass runway characteristics, which can significantly change with moisture, temperature, and seasonal vegetation growth. The grass surface will require careful consideration of aircraft performance, particularly during wet or transitional weather conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's diverse runway configuration (04/22, 09/27, 14L/32R, 14R/32L, 18L/36R, 18R/36L) provides multiple takeoff and landing options depending on wind conditions. All runways are grass surfaces, which is unusual for a medium-sized airport and indicates a specialized operational profile. The multiple parallel runway pairs suggest the airport is designed to accommodate varying wind directions and provide operational flexibility.

Approach Considerations

With six grass runways oriented in different directions, pilots have multiple approach options based on wind vectors. The longest runway (18L/36R at 5,314 feet) likely serves as the primary operational surface for larger aircraft. Pilots should carefully assess surface conditions, runway length, and current meteorological factors when planning approaches, given the all-grass runway environment.
