Weather Briefing

VFR

Landivisiau Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 6,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 8 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 6400 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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: Light Showers Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 09:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 15:00Z.

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.

Overview

Landivisiau Air Base (LFRJ) is a medium-sized airport located in Brittany, northwestern France, serving primarily military aviation operations. Situated at an elevation of 348 feet MSL, the base is positioned near the Atlantic coast with coordinates 48.530300, -4.151640. The airport features a single concrete runway (07/25) with a substantial length of 8,858 feet.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Landivisiau demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing in 50.4% of observations. Pilots can expect moderate challenges, with Marginal VFR conditions occurring in 28.8% of cases and Instrument Flight Rules in 14.6% of observations. The prevailing wind is from the south (180°) at an average of 11.1 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 41 knots.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic location in Brittany influences its meteorological characteristics, with temperature ranges from -4°C to 21°C and an average of 10.2°C. Visibility is generally excellent, averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility (fog present in only 2.8% of observations). November, September, and December represent the most favorable months for visual flight operations.

Approach Considerations
