Weather Briefing

IFR

Inowroclaw Military Air Base is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 900 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 8 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°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 23 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 Showers Rain, Showers Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 25 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 10 to 25 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 07:00Z and 12:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Showers Rain between 07:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.

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.

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

About Inowroclaw Military Air Base

Inowroclaw Military Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the PL AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Inowroclaw Military Air Base (EPIR) is a medium-sized military airport located in northern Poland, situated at coordinates 52.829399, 18.330601. The base is positioned at an elevation of 259 feet above mean sea level, serving military aviation operations in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian region. Its strategic location provides important infrastructure for military aerial activities in this part of Poland.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 259 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potentially stable atmospheric conditions. Given its location in northern Poland, pilots can expect seasonal variations that may include challenging weather during winter months with potential low visibility and precipitation. The single runway (05/23) at 1312 feet in length indicates limitations for larger aircraft and requires careful planning.

Notable Features

The runway at Inowroclaw Military Air Base is designated as 05/23, oriented in a near east-west configuration and surfaced with a grass/earth (GRE) material. This grass runway characteristic means pilots should anticipate potential surface variations and reduced braking performance compared to paved runways, particularly after precipitation. The relatively short 1312-foot runway length further emphasizes the need for precise aircraft handling and performance calculations.

Approach Considerations

Approach considerations for EPIR should prioritize wind direction given the runway's 05/23 orientation. Pilots must carefully assess aircraft performance limitations relative to the short grass runway. The airport's military designation suggests potential restricted access and the importance of obtaining specific clearance and operational permissions before attempting any landings or takeoffs.
