Weather Briefing
IFRIstrana Air Base is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,000 feet and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
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 5000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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 9 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, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions with Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 09:00Z.
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 Istrana Air Base
Istrana 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
Istrana Air Base (LIPS) is a medium-sized airport located in Veneto, northern Italy near the city of Treviso. Situated at 137 feet mean sea level with coordinates 45.684358, 12.087107, the base serves military and potentially civilian aviation operations. Its single runway 08/26 spans 9,816 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Istrana demonstrate high visual flight rule (VFR) probability at 71.3% of observations. Temperature ranges from -6°C to 30°C with an average of 9.3°C, creating generally stable flying conditions. Wind patterns predominantly come from the northeast at 45 degrees, with an average speed of 4.4 knots and occasional strong gusts up to 94 knots.
Notable Features
The airport experiences calm wind conditions 17.7% of the time, which can impact takeoff and landing procedures. Visibility averages 10 statute miles with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility, and fog is present in only 4% of observations. September, October, and January represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for aviation.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. Average crosswind is minimal at 2.4 knots, suggesting relatively straightforward approach and landing conditions. Pilots can expect consistent wind and visibility patterns that support safe and predictable flight operations.
