Weather Briefing
VFRLinz-Hörsching Airport / Vogler Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 6 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 3°C (37°F) with a dewpoint of 0°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 15 knots. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z and 18:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Linz-Hörsching Airport / Vogler Air Base
Linz-Hörsching Airport / Vogler Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the AT AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Linz-Hörsching Airport serves the Linz metropolitan area in Austria as a medium-sized airport with military and civilian operations. Located at 980 ft MSL near 48.233200, 14.187500, the airport features three runways accommodating diverse aviation requirements.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences significant weather variability, with VFR conditions occurring 46.4% of the time and instrument conditions (IFR/LIFR) present 35.8% of observations. Temperature ranges from -13°C to 27°C, with an average of 4.5°C, and prevailing easterly winds at 6.2 knots with occasional gusts up to 27 knots.
Notable Features
All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components between 1.9-2.4 knots. The primary paved runway (08/26) offers substantial length at 9,843 ft, providing flexible operational capabilities for different aircraft types.
Approach Considerations
October, September, and January represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for arrivals and departures. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility during the 14.4% of observations with fog, and prepare for instrument conditions that occur in nearly 36% of recorded weather scenarios.
