Weather Briefing
VFRChubu Centrair International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 16,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 7 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 16000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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 Chubu Centrair International Airport
Overview
Chubu Centrair International Airport serves the greater Nagoya metropolitan area in Japan, located on an artificial island in Ise Bay. As a major international airport, it handles significant passenger and cargo traffic for the central Chubu region. The airport's strategic coastal location provides critical aviation infrastructure for Japan's economic heartland.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 15 ft MSL and coastal positioning create potential for marine-influenced weather patterns and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility scenarios typical of maritime environments, particularly during seasonal transition periods. The single runway (18/36) measuring 11,483 feet provides substantial operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types.
Notable Features
The airport is uniquely constructed on an artificial island, which introduces specific geographic considerations for approach and departure procedures. Its precise coordinates at 34.858398, 136.804993 place it in a region with potential for complex local wind interactions due to surrounding bay and terrain configurations. The long primary runway enables operations for wide-body international and cargo aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Runway 18/36's precision approach capability (PEM) indicates advanced navigational infrastructure supporting complex approach procedures. The extended runway length of 11,483 feet accommodates a wide range of aircraft performance envelopes and provides significant safety margins. Pilots should prepare for potential marine layer influences and be aware of potential wind shear conditions typical of coastal airport environments.
