Weather Briefing
VFRAndravida Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 7,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 7 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,800 ft (TCU), scattered at 7,000 ft. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 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: Thunderstorm Rain, Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 16:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Rain between 16:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Andravida Air Base
Andravida Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the GR AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Andravida Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in western Greece, positioned near the town of Andravida at 37.920700, 21.292601. The airport sits at a low elevation of 55 ft mean sea level, featuring a single runway (16/34) that extends 10,299 feet with an asphalt surface. As a Greek military and potential civilian aviation facility, it provides strategic aviation infrastructure in the Peloponnese region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Andravida are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 93.1% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the southeast (135°) at an average of 7.4 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 22 knots and calm periods occurring 41.6% of the time. Temperature ranges from -1°C to 34°C, with an average of 15.7°C, providing relatively stable operating environments throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (16/34) offers excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 3.3 knots. Its low elevation and geographic position in the Peloponnese suggest minimal terrain complications for approach and departure. The runway's substantial 10,299-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions, particularly during September, December, and January, based on historical weather data. The consistent southeast wind suggests runway 16/34 will typically provide the most favorable landing and takeoff conditions. With an average visibility of 10 statute miles and negligible instances of reduced visibility or fog, approach and departure procedures should generally be straightforward.
