Weather Briefing
VFRGuidonia Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 1 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Guidonia Air Base
Guidonia Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the IT AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Guidonia Air Base (LIRG) is a medium-sized airport located near Rome, Italy, serving military and potentially civilian aviation operations. Situated at an elevation of 289 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides strategic access to the central Italian region.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 92.1% of observations showing clear weather suitable for visual flight. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 32°C, with an average of 15.9°C, suggesting significant seasonal variation that pilots should consider during flight planning. September, October, and December represent the most consistent VFR months.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 3,937-foot grass runway (04/22) and a 4,797-foot asphalt runway (18/36). Its proximity to Rome and strategic location in central Italy likely makes it significant for regional military and potentially training aviation operations. The terrain around the airport appears relatively flat, based on the moderate elevation.
Approach Considerations
With calm wind conditions reported in 100% of observations, runway selection becomes more flexible for arrivals and departures. Pilots should be prepared for the two different runway surfaces - grass and asphalt - which may require different landing and takeoff techniques. The longer asphalt runway (18/36) provides more options for larger aircraft and potentially more challenging wind conditions.
