Weather Briefing

VFR

Péronne Saint-Quentin Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 6 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 8°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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, Thunderstorm RAGS. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 03:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm RAGS between 06:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 20:00Z and 00:00Z.

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 Péronne Saint-Quentin Airfield

Overview

Péronne Saint-Quentin Airfield (LFAG) is a medium airport located in the Somme department of northern France, specifically situated near Monchy-Lagache. The airfield serves the regional aviation needs of the Hauts-de-France region, providing critical infrastructure for general aviation and potential utility operations. Its strategic location offers access to the surrounding agricultural and rural landscape.

Flying Conditions

Located at an elevation of 295 feet mean sea level, the airfield experiences typical northern French climate conditions with potential variability in wind and visibility. The airport's single runway (09/27) measuring 4,560 feet in length and constructed of asphalt provides a substantial surface for aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather variations common to the region, including potential low visibility during autumn and winter months.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (09/27) is aligned to accommodate prevailing wind patterns in the region. The relatively flat terrain surrounding the airfield suggests minimal terrain-induced turbulence or significant geographic complications for approach and departure. Its medium classification indicates capabilities for supporting various aircraft types typical of general and regional aviation.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's 4,560-foot asphalt surface offers flexibility for approach planning, with potential wind-based runway preference depending on current meteorological conditions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach assessments, paying particular attention to local wind patterns and potential seasonal weather limitations. Standard visual and instrument approach protocols applicable to medium French regional airfields will be relevant for navigation.
