Weather Briefing

VFR

Bergen Airport, Flesland is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (180°) at 6 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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: Showers Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 16:00Z and 21:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Bergen Airport, Flesland

Overview

Bergen Airport, Flesland serves as a critical transportation hub for Norway's second-largest city, located on the western coast. As a large airport positioned at 170 ft above mean sea level, it provides essential regional and international connectivity for the Bergen metropolitan area and surrounding western Norwegian regions.

Flying Conditions

Western Norway's coastal environment typically presents challenging meteorological conditions with frequent precipitation and dynamic wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility scenarios and significant maritime atmospheric influences due to the airport's proximity to the North Sea and surrounding mountainous terrain.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (17/35) extends 9,810 feet, providing substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for various aircraft types. Its geographic position at 60.293400, 5.218140 places it in a complex terrain zone with mountainous landscapes and maritime coastal influences that can generate rapid weather transitions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35's extended length allows flexibility for multiple aircraft categories, with approach considerations heavily influenced by prevailing maritime wind conditions. Pilots should maintain heightened situational awareness regarding potential wind shear and turbulence potential, particularly during seasonal transitional periods.
