Weather Briefing
VFRRas Al Khaimah International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1189.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 10 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Ras Al Khaimah International Airport
Overview
Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (OMRK) serves the northernmost emirate of the United Arab Emirates, located approximately 100 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports regional and international commercial aviation operations, strategically positioned in the growing aviation market of the northern UAE.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 102 ft MSL suggests a relatively stable atmospheric environment with minimal terrain-induced turbulence. Pilots can expect typical Arabian Gulf coastal weather patterns, characterized by high temperatures and potential thermal variations that may impact aircraft performance, especially during summer months.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (16/34) with a substantial length of 12,336 feet, constructed with asphalt pavement. Its geographic coordinates at 25.613501, 55.938801 place it in a coastal region with potential maritime meteorological influences that could affect local wind conditions and visibility.
Approach Considerations
The runway orientation of 16/34 allows for flexible approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the airport's coastal location, and be prepared to utilize the full runway length for safe landing and takeoff operations.
