Weather Briefing
MVFRJalalabad Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 24,000 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 6 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,000 ft, scattered at 24,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Haze. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions between 10:00Z and 14:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Jalalabad Airport
Overview
Jalalabad Airport serves the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad, located in Nangarhar Province. As a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 1,814 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in a strategically important region. The airport supports regional transportation and potentially military/humanitarian operations in eastern Afghanistan.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 1,814 feet suggests a moderate altitude environment with potential for temperature and density altitude variations. Pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations related to the airport's terrain and elevation. Seasonal weather patterns in this region can include significant temperature fluctuations and potential wind variability.
Notable Features
Jalalabad Airport features a single runway (13/31) with an asphalt surface measuring 7,262 feet in length. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, with a northwest-southeast alignment. The surrounding terrain is characterized by the transitional landscape between Afghanistan's mountainous regions and plains.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31's substantial 7,262-foot length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and operational requirements. Approach planning should consider potential terrain interactions and the airport's elevation when calculating performance parameters. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variations given the airport's geographic location.
