Weather Briefing

MVFR

Achinsk Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 4,600 feet and 7 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 2 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 4,600 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 03:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Fog between 15:00Z and 00:00Z.

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 narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Achinsk Airport

Overview

Achinsk Airport is a medium-sized airport located in the Krasnoyarsk Krai region of Russia, situated at coordinates 56.269185, 90.575110. Positioned at an elevation of 1033 feet above mean sea level, the airport serves the local transportation needs of the Achinsk area, supporting regional connectivity and potentially industrial or resource-sector operations typical of the Siberian region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 1033 ft MSL suggests a mid-altitude environment with potential for variable meteorological conditions characteristic of the Siberian climate. Pilots should anticipate significant seasonal temperature variations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during winter months when extreme cold is common in this geographic region.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (08/26) with a substantial length of 8038 feet, constructed of concrete (CON) surface. Its orientation suggests the runway is aligned approximately west-southwest to east-northeast, which would typically help manage prevailing wind conditions in the region and provide flexibility for aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

Given the runway's significant length of 8038 feet, the airport can accommodate a range of aircraft types and provides ample landing and takeoff distance. The concrete surface and orientation (08/26) indicate good potential for handling diverse aircraft during various wind conditions, though local terrain and specific wind patterns would need further detailed assessment by pilots preparing for operations.
