Weather Briefing
LIFRMelbourne Moorabbin 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-southwest (210°) at 3 knots.
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 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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 29 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.
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 Melbourne Moorabbin Airport
Overview
Melbourne Moorabbin Airport serves as a critical general aviation hub in the Melbourne metropolitan area. Located at coordinates -37.975800, 145.102005, the airport sits at an elevation of 50 feet mean sea level and provides multiple runway options for diverse aircraft operations. The airport features five paved runways, accommodating various aviation activities across its medium-sized facility.
Flying Conditions
Situated in southeastern Australia, Melbourne Moorabbin Airport experiences variable weather conditions typical of the region's temperate climate. The airport's multiple runway configurations (04/22, 13L/31R, 13R/31L, 17L/35R, and 17R/35L) provide flexibility for pilots to select optimal takeoff and landing paths based on prevailing wind conditions. Runway lengths range from 1,873 feet to 4,383 feet, offering suitable options for different aircraft types.
Notable Features
The airport's five asphalt runways provide significant operational flexibility for general aviation aircraft. With runways oriented in multiple directions (04/22, 13/31, and 17/35), pilots can select approaches that best match current meteorological conditions. The airport's moderate elevation of 50 feet MSL suggests a relatively flat surrounding terrain, which can be advantageous for visual approaches and navigation.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should utilize the airport's diverse runway options to select the most appropriate approach based on current wind direction and speed. The longest runway (17L/35R at 4,383 feet) offers the most extensive landing and takeoff capability, while shorter runways may require more precise handling. Careful attention to current wind conditions and runway selection is recommended to ensure safe operations.
