Weather Briefing
LIFRBrive Souillac airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,000 feet and 1.5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 1.5 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 5000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 5,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C, indicating relatively dry conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 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, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 15:00Z and 22:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 16:00Z and 21:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums.

About Brive Souillac airport
Overview
Brive Souillac airport (LFSL) serves the Brive region in southwestern France, located at an elevation of 1016 ft MSL. The medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding area, supporting both general aviation and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at LFSL demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 54.1% of the time. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions, with IFR and LIFR conditions combining for 32.3% of observations. Seasonal temperature ranges from -11°C to 32°C, with an average of 9.3°C, suggesting potential temperature-related performance considerations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (11/29) measuring 6890 feet in length. Prevailing winds from the southeast (135°) average 5.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 19 knots and calm conditions occurring 14.1% of the time. Visibility typically remains excellent, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal occurrences of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 offers favorable wind conditions, with a 100% compatible wind profile and an average crosswind of just 3.2 knots. October, January, and September consistently provide the most favorable VFR conditions for pilots. The modest crosswind component and extended runway length provide flexibility for most aircraft operations.
