Weather Briefing

MVFR

Strezhevoy Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 10 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 6-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 3000 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 18°C (64°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm RAGR, Squalls. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Thunderstorm RAGR, Squalls between 03:00Z and 15:00Z.

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 Strezhevoy Airport

Overview

Strezhevoy Airport serves the remote region of western Siberia, located in Russia's Tomsk Oblast. Situated at 60.709400°N, 77.660004°E, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for a region known for its oil and gas operations. The airport's elevation of 164 feet MSL places it in a relatively flat geographical context.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences typical Siberian continental climate conditions, characterized by significant temperature variations between summer and winter. Pilots should anticipate potential challenging meteorological conditions, particularly during winter months when low visibility and cold temperatures can impact flight operations. The single runway (15/33) measuring 6,562 feet in length is constructed of concrete, which supports year-round operations.

Notable Features

Strezhevoy Airport's runway orientation of 15/33 suggests alignment roughly northwest to southeast, which can influence wind patterns and approach strategies. The concrete runway indicates robust infrastructure capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's geographical location in western Siberia implies potential terrain considerations related to the surrounding landscape.

Approach Considerations

Approaches to runway 15 or 33 will depend on prevailing wind conditions and air traffic control instructions. Pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios given the runway's orientation. The airport's moderate elevation and concrete surface provide relatively stable approach and landing conditions for appropriately equipped aircraft.
