Weather Briefing
LIFRAerodromo Municipal de Coimbra is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with clear skies and 0.8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.8 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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: Fog. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 02:00Z and 08:00Z.
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. 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.

Situated at an elevation of 587 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves the regional transportation needs of the Coimbra district. Its strategic location provides important aviation infrastructure for the central Portuguese region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation of 587 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of central Portugal. Pilots should be prepared for potential seasonal variations in wind and temperature, which can impact aircraft performance. The airport's geographical coordinates (40.158758, -8.470815) indicate a location with generally moderate climate characteristics.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (16/34) with a length of 3,018 feet constructed with a concrete surface. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and departure. The runway's length and surface type are important factors for pilots to consider when planning operations at this airport.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34 provides primary approach options, with pilots needing to assess wind conditions for optimal landing direction. The concrete runway surface and moderate elevation provide relatively consistent approach conditions. Pilots should carefully evaluate wind direction and runway length when planning arrivals and departures at Aerodromo Municipal de Coimbra.
