Briefing snapshot
EGAC looks workable for a local VFR departure on the latest picture: surface wind is light, visibility is good, and no runway closure is highlighted in this snapshot. The main briefing item is the lighting serviceability notice, so plan a daylight arrival or confirm PAPI availability before committing. Cross-check the current METAR, TAF, and full NOTAM list before departure.
