Weather Briefing
VFRBizerte Sidi Ahmed Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 6 knots. Runway 11/29 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft, scattered at 3,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.

Its strategic location provides important infrastructure for regional air transportation.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 75.3% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Winds predominantly blow from the west at an average of 8.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 33 knots. Temperature ranges from 5°C to 35°C, with an average of 17.7°C, creating generally stable flying conditions. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal fog occurrence.
Notable Features
Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. Runway 08/26 is a substantial 9,845 feet of paved surface, while runway 11/29 offers a shorter 3,975 feet of concrete runway. The airport's relatively low elevation and consistent wind patterns provide predictable flying environments for pilots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during September, October, and November. The average crosswind is minimal, with 4.3 knots on runway 08/26 and 3.9 knots on runway 11/29. Calm wind conditions occur in 14.2% of observations, offering consistent approach opportunities across both runways.
