Weather Briefing

MVFR

Fasa Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 9,000 feet and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (190°) at 10 knots. Runway 14/32 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 9000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 14°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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 Fasa Airport

Overview

Fasa Airport (OISF) is a medium-sized airport located in the Fars Province of Iran, situated at an elevation of 4,261 feet mean sea level. Positioned at coordinates 28.891800, 53.723301, the airport serves the Fasa region with a single runway (14/32) measuring 6,502 feet in length with an asphalt surface.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly favorable flying conditions, with 77.3% of observations reporting VFR weather and an additional 18.5% in MVFR conditions. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 39°C, with an average of 15.6°C. Wind patterns are characterized by a northwest prevailing direction (315°), averaging 5.7 knots with occasional gusts up to 27 knots, and calm conditions occurring 16.4% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport's elevation of 4,261 feet MSL indicates a higher-altitude environment, which may impact aircraft performance and density altitude calculations. Runway 14/32 benefits from highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% of winds supporting runway operations and an average crosswind of only 2.8 knots, providing consistent approach conditions for pilots.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during November, October, and January. The consistent wind patterns and low crosswind component make runway 14/32 particularly suitable for most aircraft operations. With consistently high visibility (average 10 statute miles) and minimal instances of restricted conditions, the airport offers reliable access for aviation traffic.
