Weather Briefing
VFRSchleswig Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 6 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 5°C (41°F) with a dewpoint of 3°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Schleswig Air Base
Schleswig Air Base 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
Schleswig Air Base (ETNS) is a medium-sized airport located in Jagel, Germany, situated at an elevation of 70 feet mean sea level. The base features two asphalted runways: 05/23 at 8,003 feet and 07/25 at 6,554 feet, providing substantial landing capabilities for military and potentially civilian aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Schleswig are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 77.8% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The airport experiences a wide temperature range from -14°C to 24°C, with an average temperature of 6.9°C. Prevailing winds are from the south (180°) at an average speed of 9.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical location and dual runway configuration provide flexibility for different wind conditions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind of 5.4 knots for runway 05/23 and 5.1 knots for runway 07/25. Visibility is typically excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
September, December, and January represent the best months for VFR flying conditions at Schleswig Air Base. Pilots can expect minimal fog interference, with only 5.7% of observations reporting fog conditions. The consistent wind patterns and low crosswind averages suggest relatively straightforward approach and landing procedures for most aircraft.
