Weather Briefing
LIFRGrafenwöhr Army Air Field is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with clear skies and 0.2 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.2 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 2°C (36°F) with a dewpoint of 2°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 28 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: Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 15:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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.

About Grafenwöhr Army Air Field
Grafenwöhr Army Air Field is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the DE AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Grafenwöhr Army Air Field (ETIC) is a medium-sized military airport located in Grafenwöhr, Germany, situated at an elevation of 1,363 feet MSL. The airfield supports military aviation operations in the region, with a single asphalt runway (14/32) measuring 3,300 feet in length. Its strategic location provides critical infrastructure for military aviation activities in the area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at ETIC demonstrate significant variability, with a nearly balanced distribution across flight rules: 24.9% VFR, 25.5% MVFR, 23.6% IFR, and 26% LIFR. Pilots can expect temperature ranges from -18°C to 28°C, with an average of 4°C. Wind patterns are predominantly easterly at 90°, averaging 4.9 knots, with calm conditions occurring 48.5% of the time and maximum gusts reaching 27 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's terrain and location contribute to its unique meteorological characteristics, with an average visibility of 10 statute miles and minimal low-visibility incidents (fog present in 7.7% of observations). Seasonal variations are notable, with October, September, and January offering the most consistently favorable VFR conditions. The runway alignment allows for favorable wind conditions, with winds aligned 100% of the time and an average crosswind of just 3.3 knots.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32 provides consistent wind alignment, making it an operationally efficient approach for most wind conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather changes, given the diverse flight rule distributions. The relatively low average wind speed and minimal crosswind suggest generally stable approach conditions, though pilots should always verify current METAR and local conditions before arrival.
