Weather Briefing

IFR

Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,500 feet and 4 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 11:00Z and 15:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base

Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the IT AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Milan Bergamo Airport serves as a critical transportation hub located in Orio al Serio, Italy, situated at an elevation of 782 feet mean sea level. The airport, also known as Antonio Locatelli Air Base, functions as a significant regional airport with substantial infrastructure, featuring two substantial asphalt runways. Its strategic location near Milan provides critical aviation services for commercial, cargo, and potentially military operations.

Flying Conditions

Positioned at 45.670725° N latitude, the airport experiences varied seasonal weather conditions typical of northern Italian climate zones. The two runways (10/28 at 9,429 ft and 12/30 at 2,343 ft) provide operational flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types. Pilots should anticipate potential variability in local meteorological conditions due to the airport's proximity to Alpine terrain and regional atmospheric patterns.

Notable Features

The airport's dual-runway configuration offers significant operational advantages, with the primary 10/28 runway providing extensive length suitable for larger commercial aircraft. The terrain surrounding Orio al Serio features moderate elevation changes characteristic of the Lombardy region, which may influence local wind patterns and approach dynamics. The airport's geographic position suggests potential for complex micro-meteorological conditions driven by nearby geographical features.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28, being the longer asphalt surface at 9,429 feet, will likely be the primary runway for most commercial and larger aircraft operations. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variations and carefully review current meteorological reports prior to approach. The secondary runway 12/30 provides additional operational flexibility for smaller aircraft or alternate approach scenarios.
