VFRIstrana Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook

About Istrana Air Base
Istrana Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the IT AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Istrana Air Base (LIPS) is a medium-sized airport located in Veneto, northern Italy near the city of Treviso. Situated at 137 feet mean sea level with coordinates 45.684358, 12.087107, the base serves military and potentially civilian aviation operations. Its single runway 08/26 spans 9,816 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Istrana demonstrate high visual flight rule (VFR) probability at 71.3% of observations. Temperature ranges from -6°C to 30°C with an average of 9.3°C, creating generally stable flying conditions. Wind patterns predominantly come from the northeast at 45 degrees, with an average speed of 4.4 knots and occasional strong gusts up to 94 knots.
Notable Features
The airport experiences calm wind conditions 17.7% of the time, which can impact takeoff and landing procedures. Visibility averages 10 statute miles with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility, and fog is present in only 4% of observations. September, October, and January represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for aviation.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. Average crosswind is minimal at 2.4 knots, suggesting relatively straightforward approach and landing conditions. Pilots can expect consistent wind and visibility patterns that support safe and predictable flight operations.
