Weather Briefing
VFRShiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 6 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft (CB), scattered at 4,000 ft. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 37°C (99°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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: Thunderstorm Rain, Sand, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain, Sand between 12:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z and 18:00Z.
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 Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport
Overview
Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport serves the city of Shiraz in Iran, functioning as a major aviation hub in the region. Located at 29.539200, 52.589802, the airport is situated at a significant elevation of 4,927 feet mean sea level, which impacts aircraft performance and operational considerations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 4,927 ft MSL means pilots must carefully calculate density altitude, especially during warmer months which can significantly affect aircraft performance. With two parallel asphalt runways measuring 14,345 ft (11L/29R) and 14,051 ft (11R/29L), the airport provides substantial runway length to accommodate a wide range of aircraft operations.
Notable Features
The parallel runway configuration at Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport offers operational flexibility for simultaneous approaches and departures. The substantial runway lengths of over 14,000 feet each indicate the airport is designed to handle large commercial aircraft and potentially serve as a diversion or alternate airport for regional operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation of 11/29 suggests the airport is aligned to accommodate winds typically flowing in that directional pattern. The extensive asphalt runway surfaces provide reliable touchdown zones for both commercial and potentially military aviation operations, with ample length to support safe landings across various aircraft types.
