Weather Briefing

VFR

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (280°) at 7 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 5°C (41°F) with a dewpoint of 3°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: Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 02:00Z and 05:00Z.

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 Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport

Overview

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport serves as the primary international airport for Serbia, located in the capital city of Belgrade. Situated at an elevation of 335 feet mean sea level, the airport handles significant commercial and passenger traffic, positioned at coordinates 44.818401, 20.309099.

Flying Conditions

The airport features two parallel asphalt runways: 12L/30R measuring 11,155 feet and 12R/30L measuring 11,483 feet, providing substantial operational flexibility. Its mid-elevation and inland location suggests potential for variable wind conditions and seasonal temperature fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance.

Notable Features

The parallel runway configuration allows for potential simultaneous operations and increased airport capacity. Its geographic position in the Belgrade metropolitan area means pilots should anticipate potential urban terrain influences and complex airspace interactions during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

With two long runways oriented at 120/300 degree headings, the airport offers multiple approach options dependent on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear or thermal variations typical of inland continental airport environments, utilizing the substantial runway lengths for safe maneuvering.
