Weather Briefing
MVFRCasement Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 17 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 15-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z and 10:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions between 10:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Casement Air Base
Casement Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the IE AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Casement Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Baldonnel, Ireland, positioned at coordinates 53.301701, -6.451330 with an elevation of 319 feet MSL. The airport features two asphalted runways: a 4,800-foot runway (04/22) and a 6,001-foot runway (10/28), supporting various aviation operations in the Dublin metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 71.2% of observations reporting VFR conditions and an additional 23.8% in marginal VFR. Winds predominantly blow from the southwest at an average of 11 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 40 knots. Temperature variations range from -4°C to 20°C, with an average of 8.8°C, suggesting potential for changing weather conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. Runway 04/22 experiences an average crosswind of 4.7 knots, while runway 10/28 has a slightly higher average crosswind of 7.5 knots. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic location contribute to generally stable visibility, with observations showing an average visibility of 10 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during September, January, and November. The southwest prevailing winds suggest runway 04/22 and 10/28 will typically provide straightforward approaches. With consistent visibility and minimal fog reports, instrument approaches should be relatively predictable, though pilots should always verify current METAR conditions before flight.
