Weather Briefing
LIFRHelsinki East-Redstone Aerodrome is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with clear skies and 0.3 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 5 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.3 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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. 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: Fog, Mist, Light Showers Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 04:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 07:00Z and 11:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Helsinki East-Redstone Aerodrome
Overview
Helsinki East-Redstone Aerodrome serves as a medium-sized airport located in the Pyhtää region of Finland, situated at coordinates 60.479167, 26.593889. Positioned at an elevation of 72 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides aviation infrastructure for the eastern Helsinki metropolitan area. Its single runway (15/33) offers 3,280 feet of asphalt surface for aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation and location in southern Finland typically experiences maritime-influenced weather patterns with potential seasonal variability. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts given the runway's 15/33 orientation, which runs approximately northwest-southeast. The relatively low elevation of 72 feet suggests minimal terrain-induced turbulence or significant altitude-related performance considerations.
Notable Features
Helsinki East-Redstone Aerodrome is characterized by its single asphalt runway, which provides a straightforward operational environment for medium-sized aircraft. The airport's geographical positioning near Helsinki offers accessibility to the broader regional transportation network. Its moderate runway length of 3,280 feet accommodates a range of aircraft categories typical of regional and general aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations should focus on the runway's 15/33 alignment, which allows flexibility depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and obstacle assessments during approach, keeping in mind the airport's relatively low elevation of 72 feet. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual navigation techniques are recommended for safe arrival and departure.
