Weather Briefing
MVFRFigari Sud-Corse Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 18 knots with gusts to 30 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 17-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component (gusting to 10 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 8,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 11:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations.

About Figari Sud-Corse Airport
Overview
Figari Sud-Corse Airport serves the southern Corsica region as a medium-sized airport located at 41.500599, 9.097780 with an elevation of 85 feet MSL. The airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the island, featuring a single runway (05/23) measuring 8,136 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations reveal predominantly VFR conditions 77.7% of the time, with MVFR conditions occurring 19% of flights. The prevailing wind originates from the northeast at 45 degrees, averaging 9 knots with occasional gusts up to 33 knots. September, October, and November demonstrate the most consistent VFR flying weather, with temperatures ranging from -3°C to 33°C and an average of 14.9°C.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 05/23 experiences highly favorable wind conditions, with wind alignment at 100% and an average crosswind of only 3.9 knots. Visibility is consistently strong, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog occurs in only 0.5% of observations). The low occurrence of IFR (3.1%) and LIFR (0.2%) conditions suggests generally stable meteorological environments.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 offers consistent wind-aligned approaches, with northeast winds providing predictable landing conditions. Pilots should anticipate stable visual conditions and plan for mild crosswind components. The broad runway and consistent weather patterns make this airport relatively straightforward for instrument-rated and visual flight pilots alike.
