Weather Briefing

IFR

Kenitra Air Base is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 3 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kenitra Air Base

Kenitra Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the MA AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.

Overview

Kenitra Air Base is a medium airport located in Kenitra, Morocco, serving the northwestern region of the country. Positioned at 34.298901, -6.595880 with an elevation of 16 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for military and potentially civilian operations. Its strategic coastal location near Rabat offers important regional transportation capabilities.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 16 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-related turbulence and generally stable approach conditions. With two runways (03/21 and 07/25) offering lengths of 6,035 and 7,995 feet respectively, the airport provides flexible operational capabilities across different surface types including asphalt (ASP) and concrete (CON) surfaces. Local maritime proximity likely introduces potential for variable wind conditions.

Notable Features

Kenitra Air Base features two substantial runways with significantly different orientations, enabling operations across multiple wind directions. The 07/25 runway, at 7,995 feet, offers extended operational capacity for larger aircraft types. The airport's coastal positioning near the Atlantic suggests potential for maritime meteorological influences on local flying conditions.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations due to the airport's coastal location and dual runway configuration. The 07/25 runway, being longer, may offer preferred approach options for larger aircraft or during challenging wind conditions. Careful attention to local wind patterns and runway surface conditions is recommended during arrival and departure planning.
