Weather Briefing
VFRCelle Army Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Celle Army Airfield
Celle Army Airfield is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the DE AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Celle Army Airfield is a medium-sized airport located in Lower Saxony, Germany, serving primarily military aviation operations. Situated at 129 feet above mean sea level near the city of Celle, the airport provides strategic aviation infrastructure for Allied forces in the region.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly VFR conditions, with 69.4% of recorded METARs showing favorable visual flight rules. The airport experiences a moderate climate with temperature ranges from -14°C to 30°C, and consistent southwest winds averaging 6.8 knots. Seasonal data suggests September, October, and December offer the most stable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The single runway 08/26 is 6,007 feet long with an asphalt surface, capable of handling medium-sized military aircraft. Wind data reveals 100% runway alignment favorability, with an average crosswind of only 3.8 knots, providing relatively comfortable approach and landing conditions for pilots.
Approach Considerations
Prevailing southwest winds at 225 degrees consistently influence approach strategies, with minimal turbulence and predictable wind patterns. The low percentage of IFR (7.1%) and extremely rare low IFR conditions (6.1%) suggest generally reliable visual approach opportunities throughout the year.
