Weather Briefing
MVFRAkhisar Airport / Akhisar Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 882 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -1°C (30°F) with a dewpoint of -1°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Akhisar Airport / Akhisar Air Base
Akhisar Airport / Akhisar Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the TR AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Akhisar Airport, designated with ICAO code LTBT, is a medium-sized airport located in western Turkey near the city of Akhisar. Situated at an elevation of 263 feet MSL, the airport features two parallel concrete runways, each 9,815 feet long, capable of supporting a variety of aircraft operations. Its strategic location in the Aegean region provides important aviation infrastructure for the surrounding area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Akhisar Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 49.7% of the time. Pilots can expect moderate meteorological challenges, with Marginal VFR and Instrument Flight Rules conditions occurring 38.8% of observations. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 34°C, with an average of 14.1°C, suggesting potential for significant seasonal temperature variations.
Notable Features
The airport's dual parallel runways (14L/32R and 14R/32L) offer operational flexibility and redundancy. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind of 4 knots. The prevailing wind from the north (0°) at an average of 6.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 19 knots, presents predictable wind conditions for pilots.
Approach Considerations
September, January, and October represent the most favorable months for Visual Flight Rules operations, offering optimal flying conditions. With consistent runway wind coverage and low average crosswind, pilots can expect relatively straightforward approach and landing scenarios. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility, though occasional fog (7.5% of observations) may require additional caution.
