Weather Briefing
VFRLinz-Hörsching Airport / Vogler Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 9 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 5000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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: Light Rain, Rain, Mist, Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 03:00Z and 07:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 07:00Z 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. 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 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.
