Weather Briefing
LIFROita Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 7 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 30 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: Light Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Light Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 03:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 03:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Oita Airport
Overview
Oita Airport serves the Oita Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan, functioning as a critical medium-sized regional transportation hub. Located at an elevation of 19 feet MSL, the airport supports commercial and general aviation operations with its single runway 01/19 measuring 9,840 feet in length and constructed with asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly excellent visual flying conditions, with 92.3% of observations reporting VFR weather. Winds predominantly blow from the west at an average of 7 knots, with occasional gusts up to 22 knots. Temperature ranges from -2°C to 30°C, providing relatively stable operating conditions throughout the year, with November, December, and January offering the most consistent VFR weather.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates 33.479401, 131.737000, Oita Airport is positioned in a coastal region of Kyushu with potential maritime meteorological influences. The airport's runway orientation (01/19) is highly favorable, with wind conditions supporting operations 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 5 knots, which facilitates comfortable approach and landing scenarios.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's extensive 9,840-foot length provides substantial runway availability for various aircraft types. Pilots can expect consistent wind conditions from the west, which generally align favorably with the runway heading. The statistically low occurrence of instrument meteorological conditions (IFR/LIFR at only 1.3%) suggests predictable approach environments with high visibility averages around 10 statute miles.
