Weather Briefing

VFR

Leźnica Wielka Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,900 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,900 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,900 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 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: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Fog. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 2 to 15 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 17:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 21:00Z and 07:00Z.

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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

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

About Leźnica Wielka Air Base

Leźnica Wielka Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the PL AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Leźnica Wielka Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in central Poland, situated at coordinates 52.004945, 19.143792. Positioned at an elevation of 404 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves regional aviation needs in the Łódź Voivodeship. Its substantial runway measuring 8,202 feet in length provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

Central Poland's continental climate creates variable flying conditions throughout the year, with potential significant seasonal temperature and wind variations. The airport's elevation at 404 feet MSL provides relatively stable atmospheric conditions compared to higher terrain regions. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind challenges given the single runway orientation of 10/28.

Notable Features

The airport features an asphalt (ASP) runway aligned at 10/28, offering substantial length of 8,202 feet which accommodates medium to large aircraft operations. Its geographic position in central Poland suggests potential interactions with surrounding terrain and local meteorological patterns. The moderate elevation minimizes extreme atmospheric pressure variations that might impact aircraft performance.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's extended length provides multiple approach options and enhanced operational safety margins. Pilots should carefully assess prevailing wind conditions, noting potential crosswind components given the single runway orientation. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable, with considerations for the airport's central Polish geographic context and 404-foot elevation.
