Weather Briefing
VFRFeteşti Borcea Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 5°C (41°F) with a dewpoint of 3°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: Mist. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 18 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 23:00Z and 05:00Z. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 10:00Z 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.

About Feteşti Borcea Air Base
Feteşti Borcea Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the RO AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Feteşti Borcea Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Borcea, Romania, with an ICAO code of LR80. Situated at an elevation of 180 feet above mean sea level, the airport is positioned at coordinates 44.392300, 27.726700 in the southeastern part of the country. The base is primarily designed to support military and potentially civilian aviation operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 180 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-lying terrain with moderate atmospheric conditions typical of southeastern Romania. Pilots can expect regional climate variations that may impact flight operations, with potential wind shifts and seasonal temperature changes. The concrete runway (18/36) spanning 8,202 feet provides a substantial landing surface suitable for various aircraft types.
Notable Features
Feteşti Borcea Air Base features a single runway oriented at 18/36, which indicates a north-south alignment. The concrete runway's significant length of 8,202 feet accommodates a wide range of aircraft categories and provides flexibility for different operational requirements. The airport's geographical location near the Borcea region suggests potential proximity to the Danube River, which could influence local meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 18/36's substantial length and concrete construction offer pilots a robust landing surface with good potential for all-weather operations. The north-south orientation suggests that approaches will typically align with this heading, with wind conditions potentially favoring either end depending on prevailing atmospheric patterns. Pilots should prepare standard navigation procedures considering the airport's specific geographical and elevation characteristics.
