Weather Briefing
VFRChalons Vatry airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 24 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: Showers Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 15 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 03:00Z and 09:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Showers Rain between 04:00Z and 08:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 11:00Z and 17:00Z.
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.

About Chalons Vatry airport
Overview
Chalons Vatry Airport (LFOK) is a medium-sized airport located in northeastern France near Chalons en Champagne. Situated at an elevation of 587 feet MSL, the airport serves regional aviation needs with a substantial runway capable of handling significant aircraft operations. Its strategic location in the Champagne region provides important transportation infrastructure for the area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Chalons Vatry demonstrate significant variability, with flight rules distributed across VFR (42.1%), MVFR (16.5%), IFR (19.2%), and LIFR (22.2%) categories. Temperature ranges from -9°C to 29°C, with an average of 7.9°C, indicating potential for substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations. Prevailing winds from the south (180°) average 9.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 38 knots, and rare calm conditions (0.4%).
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (10/28) measuring 12,664 feet in length, constructed with concrete (CON). Its geographic coordinates (48.773330, 4.206110) place it in a relatively flat region, which contributes to predictable wind patterns. The runway demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time and an average crosswind of just 7.6 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during September, October, and December based on historical data. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with fog present in 19.5% of observations. The long runway and consistent wind patterns provide flexibility for approaches, with southern winds predominating. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility conditions, particularly during periods with higher LIFR and IFR probabilities.
