Weather Briefing

VFR

Angers Marcé airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 6 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3100 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
