Weather Briefing
VFRWiener Neustadt West Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet. Note: This observation is 615.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 6 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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: Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 14:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 16:00Z and 20:00Z.
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 Wiener Neustadt West Airport
Overview
Wiener Neustadt West Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Lower Austria, serving the Wiener Neustadt region. Positioned at 47.836933, 16.221838 and elevated at 935 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical infrastructure for regional aviation operations. Its multiple grass runways make it a significant facility for general aviation and light aircraft activities.
Flying Conditions
The airport features six grass runways ranging from 2,754 to 5,314 feet in length, which implies significant variability in surface conditions across seasons. Pilots should anticipate grass runway characteristics, which can significantly change with moisture, temperature, and seasonal vegetation growth. The grass surface will require careful consideration of aircraft performance, particularly during wet or transitional weather conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's diverse runway configuration (04/22, 09/27, 14L/32R, 14R/32L, 18L/36R, 18R/36L) provides multiple takeoff and landing options depending on wind conditions. All runways are grass surfaces, which is unusual for a medium-sized airport and indicates a specialized operational profile. The multiple parallel runway pairs suggest the airport is designed to accommodate varying wind directions and provide operational flexibility.
Approach Considerations
With six grass runways oriented in different directions, pilots have multiple approach options based on wind vectors. The longest runway (18L/36R at 5,314 feet) likely serves as the primary operational surface for larger aircraft. Pilots should carefully assess surface conditions, runway length, and current meteorological factors when planning approaches, given the all-grass runway environment.
