Weather Briefing

MVFR

Biella-Cerrione Airfield is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,000 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (80°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 5000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 8°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 09:00Z and 15:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 15:00Z.

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 Biella-Cerrione Airfield

Overview

Biella-Cerrione Airfield serves the Cerrione area in the Biella province of northern Italy. Located at an elevation of 920 feet mean sea level, this medium airport provides general aviation services to the region. Its strategic position in the Piedmont landscape makes it an important local aviation facility.

Flying Conditions

Situated at 920 ft MSL, the airport experiences typical alpine-influenced weather patterns with potential for variable conditions. Pilots should anticipate elevation-related temperature and density altitude variations, particularly during summer months. The moderate elevation suggests potential for some orographic weather influences from nearby mountain ranges.

Notable Features

The airfield features a single runway (16/34) measuring 331 feet in length, constructed with an asphalt surface. Its relatively short runway length requires precise aircraft handling and performance calculations for safe operations. The compact runway configuration suggests the airport is primarily designed for light aircraft and training purposes.

Approach Considerations

Runway 16/34 provides a north-south orientation, which may offer some alignment with prevailing regional wind patterns. Pilots must carefully assess aircraft performance capabilities against the 331-foot runway length, particularly for takeoff and landing planning. Precise speed management and energy control will be critical during approach and departure operations.
