Weather Briefing

VFR

Donaueschingen-Villingen Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 5 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 5800 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 11:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 19:00Z and 03:00Z.

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 Donaueschingen-Villingen Airfield

Overview

Donaueschingen-Villingen Airfield serves the southwestern German region of Baden-Württemberg, located near the city of Donaueschingen. Situated at an elevation of 2231 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area. The airport's strategic location offers access to the Black Forest region and supports various general aviation activities.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevated position at 2231 ft MSL means pilots should anticipate potential temperature and density altitude variations, particularly during summer months. Given its location in southwestern Germany, the airfield experiences typical continental European weather patterns with seasonal temperature fluctuations. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variations along the 18/36 runway axis.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (18/36) with an asphalt surface measuring 4232 ft in length, suitable for smaller aircraft and general aviation operations. Its coordinates at 47.973331, 8.522222 place it in a terrain-diverse region near the Black Forest, which can introduce localized meteorological and wind conditions. The surrounding landscape may create potential terrain-induced wind shifts that pilots should carefully evaluate during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36 provides a standard orientation that allows for approaches from both north and south directions. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning to understand current wind conditions, given the potential for terrain-influenced wind patterns in this elevated region. Standard procedures for approach and departure should be carefully reviewed, with particular attention to the runway's length and the surrounding terrain characteristics.
