Weather Briefing
IFRCasement Air Base is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 900 feet and 9 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 14 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 km. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 09:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast 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 Casement Air Base
Casement Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the IE AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Casement Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in Baldonnel, Ireland, positioned at coordinates 53.301701, -6.451330 with an elevation of 319 feet MSL. The airport features two asphalted runways: a 4,800-foot runway (04/22) and a 6,001-foot runway (10/28), supporting various aviation operations in the Dublin metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 71.2% of observations reporting VFR conditions and an additional 23.8% in marginal VFR. Winds predominantly blow from the southwest at an average of 11 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 40 knots. Temperature variations range from -4°C to 20°C, with an average of 8.8°C, suggesting potential for changing weather conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. Runway 04/22 experiences an average crosswind of 4.7 knots, while runway 10/28 has a slightly higher average crosswind of 7.5 knots. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic location contribute to generally stable visibility, with observations showing an average visibility of 10 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during September, January, and November. The southwest prevailing winds suggest runway 04/22 and 10/28 will typically provide straightforward approaches. With consistent visibility and minimal fog reports, instrument approaches should be relatively predictable, though pilots should always verify current METAR conditions before flight.
