Weather Briefing

VFR

Shepparton Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (280°) at 6 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4700 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain.

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 Shepparton Airport

Overview

Shepparton Airport serves the Goulburn Valley region in Victoria, Australia, providing critical aviation infrastructure for regional and general aviation operations. Located at coordinates -36.428341, 145.391473, the airport sits at an elevation of 374 feet above mean sea level, supporting diverse aviation activities in the area.

Flying Conditions

The airport features two runways with distinct surface types: runway 09/27 is gravel (GVL) with a length of 1,388 feet, while runway 18/36 is asphalt (ASP) and significantly longer at 4,521 feet. Pilots should anticipate potential surface condition variations between these runways, especially during seasonal weather changes typical of the Goulburn Valley region.

Notable Features

Shepparton Airport's dual-runway configuration provides operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. The significant difference in runway lengths allows for accommodating various aircraft performance requirements, from smaller general aviation aircraft to potentially larger regional transport planes.

Approach Considerations

Given the airport's two runways with different surface types and lengths, pilots should carefully evaluate current wind conditions and their specific aircraft performance characteristics when selecting an approach. The 4,521-foot asphalt runway 18/36 offers more substantial landing and takeoff options compared to the shorter gravel runway 09/27.
