Weather Briefing
VFRPowidz Military Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 8 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,400 ft, few at 3,700 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,700 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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 20 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: Thunderstorm Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain, Mist, Light Rain, Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 15:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 15:00Z and 19:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Powidz Military Air Base
Powidz Military Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the PL AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Powidz Military Air Base (EPPW) is a medium-sized military airport located in west-central Poland, situated at 52.380087, 17.853155. The base sits at an elevation of 371 feet above mean sea level and features two substantial concrete runways capable of supporting significant military aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Central Polish terrain typically presents mild continental weather patterns with potential seasonal variations. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the airport's geographic location, with the dual parallel runways (10L/28R and 10R/28L) providing operational flexibility across different wind directions.
Notable Features
The airport boasts two extensive runways: 10L/28R measuring 8,940 feet and 10R/28L extending to 11,565 feet, both constructed of concrete. These long runways suggest the facility is designed to accommodate larger military aircraft and potentially support diverse operational requirements.
Approach Considerations
With two parallel runways oriented approximately 100/280 degrees, pilots have strategic options for approach and landing based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths provide significant margin for safe operations, particularly for heavier military aircraft requiring extended landing surfaces.
