Weather Briefing
IFRChubu Centrair International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (10°) at 7 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 30 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 Rain, Rain, Mist, Heavy Rain, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain, Mist between 01:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Rain, Mist between 06:00Z and 09:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain, Mist between 09:00Z and 11:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 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.
