Weather Briefing

VFR

Göteborg Landvetter Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 7 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,100 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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. 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 00:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 07:00Z and 12:00Z.

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 Göteborg Landvetter Airport

Overview

Göteborg Landvetter Airport serves as the primary international airport for western Sweden's largest metropolitan area. Located near Göteborg, this airport handles significant commercial passenger and cargo traffic, supporting regional and international connections. The airport's elevation of 506 feet above mean sea level provides a moderate terrain profile for aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Sweden's western coastal region experiences variable maritime weather conditions with significant seasonal temperature and wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility and precipitation, particularly during autumn and winter months. The airport's long primary runway (03/21 measuring 10,823 feet) provides substantial operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types and challenging meteorological scenarios.

Notable Features

The airport is situated in a transitional landscape between coastal and inland terrains, which can generate complex local wind patterns and potential turbulence. Its geographic coordinates (57.662800, 12.279800) place it in a region with moderate topographical relief. The asphalt runway surface supports year-round operations with appropriate surface friction characteristics.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21's extended length allows for comprehensive approach options across multiple wind conditions. The airport's substantial runway length enables safe operations for wide-body commercial aircraft and provides additional margin during challenging meteorological circumstances. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach briefings, considering the regional atmospheric dynamics and potential wind variability.
