Mariazell Airfield (LOGM)

Runways at LOGM

According to OurAirports data (compiled from AIP and FAA sources), Mariazell Airfield has one runway: 15/33 - 500 m long (1,640 ft), 18 m wide, asphalt surface.

Runway headings and wind

The thresholds are oriented as follows: 15/33 on 150° and 330° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.

For the 15/33 axis, wind from the south-west (around 240°) or from the north-east (around 60°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 150° or 330° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.

METAR and TAF for LOGM

Weather reports for Mariazell Airfield are published under the ICAO code LOGM. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.

The decoder breaks the LOGM report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.

Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for LOGM, check the nearby airports listed below.

Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Europe/Vienna zone is GMT+01:00 in winter and GMT+02:00 in summer - that is the shift to apply to the time in the report to get local time at the airport.

The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Lanzen-Turnau Airfield (Göriach) (LOGL, 26 km), Kapfenberg Airfield (LOGK, 37 km), Sankt Georgen-Ybbsfeld Airfield (Sankt Georgen am Ybbsfelde) (LOLG, 44 km). When no report is available for LOGM, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
