Weather Briefing
VFRGöteborg Landvetter Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 5 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 23:00Z and 03:00Z.
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 Göteborg Landvetter Airport
Overview
Göteborg Landvetter Airport serves as the primary international airport for western Sweden's largest metropolitan area. Located near Göteborg, this airport handles significant commercial passenger and cargo traffic, supporting regional and international connections. The airport's elevation of 506 feet above mean sea level provides a moderate terrain profile for aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Sweden's western coastal region experiences variable maritime weather conditions with significant seasonal temperature and wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility and precipitation, particularly during autumn and winter months. The airport's long primary runway (03/21 measuring 10,823 feet) provides substantial operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types and challenging meteorological scenarios.
Notable Features
The airport is situated in a transitional landscape between coastal and inland terrains, which can generate complex local wind patterns and potential turbulence. Its geographic coordinates (57.662800, 12.279800) place it in a region with moderate topographical relief. The asphalt runway surface supports year-round operations with appropriate surface friction characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21's extended length allows for comprehensive approach options across multiple wind conditions. The airport's substantial runway length enables safe operations for wide-body commercial aircraft and provides additional margin during challenging meteorological circumstances. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach briefings, considering the regional atmospheric dynamics and potential wind variability.
