Weather Briefing
VFRRAAF Base Edinburgh is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 6 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 27 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: Mist. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 18:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About RAAF Base Edinburgh
RAAF Base Edinburgh is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the AU AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
RAAF Base Edinburgh is a military airbase located near Adelaide, South Australia, serving Royal Australian Air Force operational requirements. Situated at an elevation of 67 feet above mean sea level, the base provides critical infrastructure for military aviation activities in the region.
Flying Conditions
Adelaide's coastal location influences the airport's weather patterns, with potential for variable wind conditions affecting both runways. The airport's two runways - a 6,437-foot grass surface (04/22) and an 8,399-foot asphalt surface (18/36) - offer flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions.
Notable Features
The base's dual-runway configuration allows for operational adaptability across different wind scenarios. Its geographic position near Adelaide provides strategic importance for military aviation, with terrain characteristics typical of South Australia's coastal plains.
Approach Considerations
Runway 18/36, being the longer asphalt surface at 8,399 feet, likely serves as the primary operational runway for most aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the airport's coastal location, and be prepared to utilize either runway based on prevailing meteorological conditions.
