Weather Briefing
VFRAguenar – Hadj Bey Akhamok Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 6 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Aguenar – Hadj Bey Akhamok Airport
Overview
Aguenar – Hadj Bey Akhamok Airport serves Tamanrasset in southern Algeria, functioning as a critical medium-sized airport in a remote desert region. Located at a high elevation of 4518 ft MSL, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for this challenging geographical area.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences consistently excellent visual flight conditions, with 98.5% of observations reporting VFR weather. Temperature ranges from -1°C to 37°C, with an average of 20.1°C, indicating significant diurnal temperature variations. Prevailing winds from the east (90°) average 6.1 knots, with maximum gusts up to 36 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two substantial asphalt runways: 02/20 at 11,811 ft and 08/26 at 10,171 ft, providing robust operational flexibility. Its high desert elevation and geographic location suggest potential challenges with density altitude and thermal conditions typical of arid mountainous environments.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (4.7 kt for 02/20, 3.7 kt for 08/26). September, October, and November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations, offering optimal flying conditions with excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
