Weather Briefing
MVFRLanvéoc-Poulmic Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 13 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2100 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Lanvéoc-Poulmic Air Base
Lanvéoc-Poulmic Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the FR AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Lanvéoc-Poulmic Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in western France, situated near the Brittany coastline. The base serves military and potentially civilian aviation operations, positioned at an elevation of 287 feet above mean sea level. Its strategic coastal location provides important aerospace infrastructure in the Finistère region.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions at this airport, with visual flight rules prevailing in 51.1% of observed conditions. The airport experiences moderate wind patterns, with a prevailing southerly wind at 180° averaging 10.9 knots and occasionally reaching up to 36 knots. Temperature variations are modest, ranging from -1°C to 21°C, with an average of 11.1°C.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways with different surfaces: Runway 05/23 is an asphalt (ASP) surface measuring 3,635 feet, Runway 13/31 is a grass (GRS) surface at 2,133 feet, and Runway 06/24 is currently listed with unknown characteristics. The coastal location likely introduces maritime weather influences and potential wind shear considerations for approaching aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Wind analysis indicates favorable wind conditions across all runways, with minimal crosswind challenges. Runway 05/23 offers the most substantial landing surface with an average crosswind of 6.2 knots. Pilots should note the best VFR months are September, November, and December, which provide optimal visual flying conditions with high visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
