Weather Briefing

VFR

Mengen-Hohentengen Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 6 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 5900 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 4°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 20:00Z.

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 Mengen-Hohentengen Airfield

Overview

Mengen-Hohentengen Airfield (EDTM) is a medium-sized airport located in the southern German state of Baden-Württemberg. Situated at an elevation of 1,818 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides aviation services to the Mengen region. Its strategic location and dual runway configuration make it a versatile facility for general aviation and local flying operations.

Flying Conditions

Located at 48.053890, 9.372778, the airport experiences typical southern German highland weather conditions. The significant elevation of 1,818 feet MSL can impact aircraft performance, particularly during warmer months or when operating at maximum gross weight. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude effects and plan accordingly.

Notable Features

The airport features two distinct runways: a primary asphalt runway 07/25 measuring 5,138 feet, and a secondary grass runway 07L/25R extending 2,298 feet. This dual-runway configuration offers operational flexibility, allowing pilots to select runways based on wind conditions and aircraft capabilities. The presence of a grass runway provides additional options for lighter aircraft and different surface conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25 is the primary paved runway, offering a substantial 5,138-foot length suitable for most general aviation aircraft. The secondary grass runway 07L/25R provides an alternative surface for smaller aircraft. Pilots should carefully assess current wind conditions, aircraft performance limitations, and personal minimums when selecting an approach runway.
