Weather Briefing
VFRJASDF Kenebetsu Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 3.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,500 ft, scattered at 2,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 5°C (41°F) with a dewpoint of 2°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. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About JASDF Kenebetsu Airfield
Overview
JASDF Kenebetsu Airfield is a military airport located in Betsukai, Hokkaido, Japan, serving the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). Positioned at coordinates 43.425154, 144.741354, the airfield sits at sea level (0 ft MSL) in the northern region of Japan, strategically situated in a geographically significant area.
Flying Conditions
Hokkaido's maritime climate produces variable weather conditions that pilots must carefully consider when operating at Kenebetsu. Winter months typically involve challenging conditions with potential low visibility, significant wind variations, and potential snow/ice accumulation. Summer periods offer more stable atmospheric conditions but can still present localized meteorological challenges.
Notable Features
The airfield is characterized by its flat terrain and sea-level elevation, which provides consistent ground reference points for pilots. Its location in Hokkaido means proximity to complex maritime and mountainous geographical features that can influence local wind patterns and atmospheric conditions. As a military installation, the airfield likely has specific operational protocols and restricted airspace considerations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather changes typical of northern Japanese coastal regions when approaching Kenebetsu Airfield. While specific runway details were not provided, standard military airfield approach procedures emphasizing precision and adherence to established protocols are expected. Careful preflight planning and real-time weather monitoring are crucial for safe operations at this location.
